Instructions

1. 1Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper.
2. 2Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers and moves freely across the pan, about 2 minutes.
3. 3Add the steak bites in a single layer without touching and cook undisturbed over medium-high heat for 1–2 minutes until the bottoms are deeply browned and a crust forms.
4. 4Flip each piece and cook for another 1–2 minutes over medium-high heat until the second side is browned and the internal temperature reaches 130–135°F for medium-rare.
5. 5Reduce heat to low, add the butter to the pan, and swirl until melted, about 1 minute.
6. 6Add the fresh garlic to the butter and cook over low heat for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring gently.
7. 7Divide the steak bites evenly into 6 airtight containers while hot, then drizzle each portion with the garlic butter from the pan.
8. 8Serve each container with a side of garlic aioli for dipping.
