🔪 Instructions

Prepare the Steak:
-
Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step ensures a better sear.

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.

Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the steak bites and toss to combine.
