Remove the minute steaks from the refrigerator and allow them to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Season both sides of the steaks evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt completely and start to foam slightly.
Carefully place the steaks into the skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook each side for 1-2 minutes, or until nicely browned and cooked to your preferred doneness (medium-rare to medium works best for minute steaks).
Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a plate and tent them with aluminum foil to rest for 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the steaks, and squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice over the top if desired for added brightness.
Serve the minute steaks immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a crisp salad.
