Thin slices of beef sizzled in butter, garlic, and smoked paprika — rich, tender, and full of flavor. This camp-style garlic butter beef is juicy, garlicky, and incredibly easy to make outdoors — a true camping cooking favorite.
Equipment
- 1 sauté pan
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 lb beef chuck roll sliced thin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Melt the Butter: Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. As the butter starts to melt and bubble, add the minced garlic and let it brown lightly — about 45 seconds to 1 minute — for a deeper, nutty flavor.
- Sear the Beef: Spread the thinly sliced beef evenly in the pan. Avoid overcrowding so it sears properly. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Finish the Stir-Fry: Stir and cook for another 3–4 minutes, until the beef is browned, glossy, and coated in garlicky butter
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy this juicy, flavorful camping cooking dish — simple, smoky, and perfect for a cozy meal under the stars.

Notes
- Brown the garlic, not burn it — Add it right as the butter melts and let it turn light golden. This gives the dish a rich, nutty flavor that defines good camping cooking.
- Use thin-sliced beef for quick searing — It cooks fast and stays tender, making it ideal for uneven camp-stove heat.
- Season as you cook — Sprinkle salt, pepper, and smoked paprika while the beef is sizzling so the spices stick to the butter and caramelize into every bite.
