1-Getting Garlic Butter Steak Bites just right: is simpler than you think, and it only takes about 20 minutes from start to finish!

This one-skillet method keeps things straightforward, perfect for busy parents or students wanting a hearty meal without the fuss.
2-First, season the steak bites with salt, pepper, and a dash of red pepper flakes if you like it spicy. Heat your large skillet over medium-high with avocado oil until it’s sizzling hot.
