Recipe Notes

**Make the “okay” sign with your hand. See that little circle your pointer finger and thumb made? That’s the amount of pasta that should be left over in the package. Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Once it’s done, turn off the heat, but do NOT drain off the water until you’re ready to put the pasta into the sauce. Just drain the water off then add it into the sauce. Do NOT rinse the pasta.

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• pepper Freshly cracked black

• Method
• Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season all over with salt.

Flip and repeat on the other side, about another 6 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate.
• Reduce the heat to low and add the butter to the pan. Once the butter has melted, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Pour the garlic butter over the steak bites and sprinkle with pepper. Serve alongside garlic aioli for dipping.
• NOTE: You may have to work in batches when cooking the steak! Just be sure to remove the first batch from the pan before cooking the remaining steak.
