Pro Tips for the Best Skillet Meal
Use a good cut of steak like sirloin or ribeye for the most tender bites. Sear the steak at high heat for a caramelized crust. Don’t overcook the garlic—just 30 seconds is enough to bring out the best flavor. For extra richness, finish with an extra pat of butter before serving.
Serve with a side of roasted veggies or a fresh salad for a complete meal!
