🔥 Pat the steak dry before cooking to develop a better crust.
🍳 Use a very hot pan to achieve proper searing.
⏲️ Avoid stirring steak bites too early to let the crust form.
🧄 Add garlic after removing steak from the pan to prevent burning.
👩🍳 Cook in batches if needed to prevent overcrowding the skillet.
🌶️ Red pepper flakes add mild heat but are optional.
🥩 Sirloin is recommended, but ribeye, strip steak, or tenderloin work well; avoid tough or very lean cuts.
