Instructions

Season the steak bites: In a bowl, combine the steak pieces with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to coat the meat evenly with the seasonings.
Cook the steak bites: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the avocado oil. Once hot, add the steak bites in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally to brown all sides. Depending on your skillet size, you may need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding. Once browned, remove the steak bites from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté the garlic: Wipe the skillet to remove any excess water or residue. Add the butter or ghee to the pan and let it melt over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Combine steak and sauce: Return the steak bites to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to fully coat the meat in the buttery garlic sauce.
Finish and serve: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately while hot and flavorful.

Notes

For best results, use a high-quality cut of steak like sirloin or ribeye.
Cooking in batches prevents steaming and ensures a nice sear.
Adjust red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level or omit for no heat.
Serve with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or on toasted bread for a hearty meal.
You can substitute avocado oil with olive oil or another high smoke point oil.
