Equipment

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds beef steak sirloin steak, ribeye, filet mignon all work well, cut into bite-size pieces
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
½ tablespoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 tablespoons butter
1 large shallot minced (approximately 1/4 cup)
8 cloves garlic minced
½ cup finely chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Pat the steak pieces dry with a paper towel and transfer to a large bowl or zip top bag.
In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Pour the seasoning over the steak and toss to coat.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the steak bites in a single layer working in batches, if necessary. Sear the steak bites for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining steak bites.
Reduce to medium-low heat and two tablespoons butter, the shallot and garlic. Saute for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
Stir in the remaining butter.
Add the steak bites back to the pan with the parsley and stir to coat with the butter.
Remove from the heat and serve over rice, mashed potatoes or buttered noodles.

Notes

Be sure to cut the steak into similar size pieces so it all cooks at the same rate.

Don't overcook the meat, I like to cook mine a couple minutes less so when it's ready to serve it will be perfectly medium-rare. Using an instant read thermometer is key.
