- Remove the steak and set aside.
- Make the Garlic Butter:
- In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium.
- Add the butter and let it melt.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant (don’t burn it!).

💡 Tips:
- For extra flavor: Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a squeeze of lemon juice at the end. 🍋

- Steak doneness: They cook fast! Pull them off the heat just when browned to stay juicy.
