-
Coat the Steak Bites:

Notes
- Use High Heat: This ensures a perfect sear and locks in juices.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Cook in batches for the best results.
- Pat Steak Dry: This helps achieve a crispy crust.
- Adjust Doneness: Cook longer for medium-well or well-done steak.
- Air Fryer Option: Cook at 400°F for 6-8 minutes, shaking halfway through.
