Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Cooking Fats and Dairy:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat a robust cast-iron skillet to searing temperature, creating an optimal surface for caramelizing the meat’s exterior.
- Drizzle olive oil and melt butter, creating a luxurious cooking medium that enhances flavor and prevents sticking.
- Generously coat steak cubes with a harmonious blend of salt, freshly ground black pepper, smoky paprika, and aromatic garlic powder, ensuring comprehensive seasoning.
- Carefully distribute steak pieces across the sizzling skillet, maintaining a single layer to maximize direct heat contact and promote even browning.
- Allow steak bites to develop a rich, golden crust by cooking approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, adjusting time based on desired level of doneness.
- Delicately transfer perfectly seared steak bites to a waiting plate, preserving their tender interior and flavorful caramelized exterior.
Notes
- Ensure steak is at room temperature before cooking to guarantee even searing and prevent tough meat.
- Avoid overcrowding the skillet to achieve a perfect golden-brown crust; cook steak bites in batches if needed.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for superior heat retention and creating a delicious crispy exterior on the steak.
- Opt for high-quality, well-marbled cuts like ribeye or sirloin for maximum tenderness and flavor in your steak bites.
