0.5 teaspoon dried thyme

2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
3. Add the steak bites in a single layer and sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned.
4. Reduce heat to medium and push the steak to one side of the pan.

Avoid overcrowding the pan to achieve a proper sear.
Let the steak rest briefly before serving to keep it juicy.
