INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Season Steak:

1. Cook Steak Bites:

• Add steak cubes to the skillet in a single layer (you may need to cook them in batches).

• Stir the garlic and herbs into the butter and let it cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.

1. Combine and Serve:

• Toss the steak bites in the garlic butter mixture to coat them well.
• Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
• Serve immediately.
