Step 2: Sear the Beef
- In a hot skillet or cast-iron pan, add olive oil.
- Once the oil is shimmering, add the beef cubes in a single layer (don’t overcrowd the pan).
- Sear for 2–3 minutes on each side until browned and crusty. For medium-rare, avoid overcooking.
- Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
- In the same pan, reduce heat to medium.
- Add the butter and let it melt gently.
- Stir in the garlic and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden (about 1–2 minutes). Be careful not to burn it.
- Add soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine and deglaze the pan, scraping up any delicious browned bits.
Step 4: Combine and Serve
- Return the seared beef cubes to the pan and toss to coat them evenly in the garlic butter sauce.
- Cook for another minute or two until heated through.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and optional chili flakes.
