FAQ
1. Can I use other cuts of steak?
Yes! Ribeye, strip, or tenderloin work well. Just avoid very lean cuts like round steak — they can dry out quickly.
2. How do I make it spicy?
Add extra red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne powder while cooking garlic butter.
3. Can I make this ahead?
Yes, cook steak bites, then cool and refrigerate. Reheat gently in a skillet with butter to avoid drying out.
