Heat a large heavy-bottomed pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. Once hot, add the steak bites in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until nicely browned and a crust forms. You may need to do this in batches.

Once all steak is seared, remove it from the pan and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter to the same pan, allowing it to melt. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
