Quick Fixes
Steak steaming instead of searing: Work in batches — don't crowd the pan. High, dry heat is what creates the crust.
Overcooked: Small bites cook in 2–3 minutes total. Pull them the moment they're browned on the outside.
Garlic burning: Add butter and garlic after removing steak from heat, then toss the bites back in off the flame.
