1-First, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until it’s very hot, which helps lock in those juicy flavors. Season the steak pieces generously with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet in a single layer. Cook without stirring for at least 2 minutes to build a nice sear, then stir occasionally for another 2 minutes until they’re golden brown. If you have a lot, cook in batches to avoid crowding, just like the tips suggest for the best results.

2-Once done, remove the steak bites and set them aside. Reduce the heat to medium, add the unsalted butter to the skillet, and let it melt. Stir in the minced garlic and optional red pepper flakes, cooking for about 30 seconds until it’s aromatic but not burnt. Finally, toss the steak bites back in to coat them evenly with the garlic butter, garnish with chopped parsley if you like, and serve right away. This whole process takes about 5 minutes of prep and 10 minutes of cooking, totaling 15 minutes perfect for students or newlyweds in a rush.
