Soy Ginger Steak Bites
Soy Ginger Steak Bites are small pieces of steak marinated in a mixture of garlic, brown sugar, soy sauce, fresh ginger, oil, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes, then pan-seared to develop a flavorful crust. Tossed in butter before serving, these bites combine savory, sweet, and tangy accents with a slight spicy kick and tender interior, making for a satisfying appetizer or main course.

Notes
- Allow excess marinade to drip off steak pieces to achieve a good crust during cooking.
- Cook steak bites in batches if necessary, as overcrowding the pan prevents proper searing and browning.
