Prepare the Steak: Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning blend evenly over the steak cubes, tossing them gently to coat.

Sear the Steak: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add half of the steak bites in a single layer, leaving space between each piece. Sear for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs, until browned on all sides and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the first batch and set aside. Repeat with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and steak bites.

Add Flavor: Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Return all the steak bites to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic butter to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 1 minute to meld the flavors.

Garnish and Serve: Transfer the steak bites to a serving plate and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as chimichurri, horseradish cream, or a simple mustard aioli.
