Pro Tips for Perfect Garlic Butter Steak Bites

• Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Cook the steak bites in batches if necessary to ensure they get a good sear.
• Use High Heat: Searing the steak on medium-high to high heat helps achieve that crispy, caramelized exterior while keeping the inside juicy.
• Rest the Steak: After cooking, let the steak bites rest for a minute or two before serving. This helps keep the juices inside the meat.
• Add a Touch of Heat: If you like a little spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter sauce for a subtle kick.
• Adjust Cooking Time: For well-done steak bites, cook them a bit longer, but keep an eye on them so they don’t become tough.
