🔪 Instructions
- 
Prepare the Steak: - 
Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step ensures a better sear. 
- 
Season the steak pieces generously with salt and black pepper. 
 
- 
- 
Sear the Steak: - 
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. 
- 
Add the steak cubes in a single layer, ensuring they don't overcrowd the pan. 
- 
Sear the steak for about 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms. 
- 
If necessary, cook the steak in batches to avoid steaming. 
- 
Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside. 
 
- 
- 
Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce: - 
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. 
- 
Add the unsalted butter and let it melt. 
- 
Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. 
- 
If using, add the crushed red pepper flakes and cook for an additional 30 seconds. 
 
- 
- 
Combine Steak and Sauce: - 
Return the seared steak cubes to the skillet, tossing them to coat evenly with the garlic butter sauce. 
- 
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
