Cook Steak Bites:
Season steak cubes with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear steak cubes for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic, stirring continuously for 1 minute.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan and toss to coat evenly.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley.

Use ribeye or filet mignon for an even more tender steak.
