Cut the seitan into bite-sized pieces, roughly 1-inch cubes.
In a medium bowl, mix together the soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt.
Add the seitan pieces to the bowl and toss them until they are well-coated with the marinade. Let sit for 10 minutes.
While the seitan is marinating, finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the parsley.
In a large skillet, heat the vegan butter over medium heat until melted.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sautΓ© for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the marinated seitan pieces to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly crispy on the edges and heated through.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the seitan and toss to combine.
Transfer the vegan garlic butter steak bites to a serving platter and serve warm.
