Notes
Cut the steak into similar-sized cubes (about 1 inch): this helps everything cook evenly Before seasoning. Pat the steak dry with paper towels: removing excess moisture helps the steak sear instead of steam Use a very hot pan! A cast-iron works best for this recipe because it holds heat well. Don’t skip the rest time before eating. Let all the flavors come together Don’t overcrowd the pan. That’s how you get the charred edges
SERVING IDEAS: Creamy mashed potatoes Crispy roasted baby potatoes Buttery egg noodles Rice or garlic rice
