Season the steak bites with salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, and a little olive oil.
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat with a small amount of oil.

Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
Reduce heat to medium and add the mirin or white wine to the skillet. Let it reduce slightly.
Stir in the butter and minced garlic until creamy.
Add Worcestershire sauce and fresh parsley.
Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss with the sauce to coat.

Once thickened, stir in butter, heavy cream, smoked Gouda, salt, and pepper until creamy and smooth.
