Instructions
- Prepare the Steak

- Heat a large non-stick skillet over high heat until fully heated.
- Add olive oil and let it shimmer.
- Cook the Steak Bites
- Place steak pieces in the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding.

- Medium: 130°F
- Remove steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the Mushrooms (Optional)

- Cook for 5-6 minutes until golden and tender. Remove and set aside.
- Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
- Reduce heat to medium and melt the butter in the skillet.

- Combine and Serve
- Return the steak (and mushrooms, if using) to the skillet.
- Toss to coat everything in the garlic butter sauce.
