👨‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Sear the Beef Strips
Pat your sliced beef strips completely dry with paper towels and season them generously with salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, deep skillet over high heat. Once the pan is smoking hot, add the beef in a single layer. Sear undisturbed for 1–2 minutes per side just until a gorgeous golden-brown crust forms. Remove the beef immediately to a warm plate—it will finish cooking later! 🍳🔥
