\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83c\udf73 The Method for Maximum Flavor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. The Prep<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Dry the Meat:<\/strong> Pat the beef cubes completely dry with paper towels. If they are wet, they will steam instead of searing, and you won’t get that “brutal” crust.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Season:<\/strong> Season the cubes generously with salt and pepper just before they hit the pan.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    2. The Sear (High Heat)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Get it Smoking:<\/strong> Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet or heavy pan over high heat<\/strong> until it\u2019s nearly smoking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Don’t Crowd:<\/strong> Add the beef in a single layer. If your pan is small, do this in two batches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. The Crust:<\/strong> Let them sear undisturbed for about $2$ minutes<\/strong> to get a deep brown crust. Flip and sear for another minute. You want them medium-rare to medium inside.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      3. The Garlic Butter Finish<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Heat Down:<\/strong> Turn the heat down to medium.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. The Magic:<\/strong> Toss in the butter and the minced garlic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Baste:<\/strong> As the butter melts and foams, it will pick up the “fond” (brown bits) from the bottom of the pan. Stir the beef cubes constantly for about $30-60$ seconds<\/strong> so the garlic softens but doesn’t burn.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Garnish:<\/strong> Remove from heat, toss in the fresh parsley and red pepper flakes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n\n\n\n

        \ud83d\udca1 Pro-Tips for Success<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Don’t Overcook:<\/strong> Beef cubes cook incredibly fast. Once they have a crust, they are usually done.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Garlic Timing:<\/strong> Never add the garlic at the start with the meat. The high heat required for the sear will turn the garlic bitter and black.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Acid Balance:<\/strong> A tiny squeeze of lemon juice<\/strong> or a splash of Worcestershire sauce<\/strong> at the very end cuts through the richness of the butter and makes the beef flavor pop even more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
