⭐ Tips for Perfect Steak Bites
-
Don’t overcrowd the pan: Sear in batches for golden-brown crusts.
-
Use freshly grated Parmesan: It melts smoother than pre-shredded cheese.
-
Control doneness: Sirloin cooks quickly—remove steak early and finish in sauce.
-
Rest briefly: Let steak sit for a few minutes before serving for maximum juiciness.
