Instructions

Remove the steak from the refrigerator and pat it completely dry with paper towels. Cut against the grain into 1-inch cubes.
In a small bowl, whisk together garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle over the steak cubes and toss until fully coated.
Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until the pan is smoking hot. Add the steak bites in a single layer, working in batches if needed. Cook without moving for 2 minutes.
Flip each piece and cook for another 1–2 minutes until browned and medium-rare. Remove steak bites and set aside on a plate.
Reduce heat to medium. In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, scraping up browned bits from the pan.
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary. Let sizzle for about 30 seconds to release flavor.
Return steak bites and any juices to the skillet. Toss for about 1 minute to coat evenly and warm through.

Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

Patting the steak dry is essential for a good sear.
Do not overcrowd the pan to maintain high heat.

Garlic cooks quickly, so keep the heat moderate once butter is added.
