Notes

  • Cook the steak in batches if your skillet is crowded.
  • Do not burn the garlic. Add it after the steak is already browned.
  • For medium steak bites, avoid cooking them too long after returning them to the pan.
  • Add a small squeeze of lemon juice at the end for a brighter flavor.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
