Critical Success Points

  • Pat the beef dry before searing to achieve a proper crust.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet; sear in batches if needed.
  • Add garlic after the beef is mostly cooked to prevent burning.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot skillet with oven mitts to avoid burns.
  • Garlic can burn quickly; keep it moving and watch the heat.
