Step 1
Pat beef dry with a paper towel. Toss with minced garlic, cilantro, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high until it smokes, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add beef cubes to the skillet in a single layer. Don't move them — let them sear 3 minutes until edges brown.
Step 4
Flip each cube once and sear another 2 minutes for medium-rare. Center should feel firm but give slightly.
Step 5
Squeeze half a lemon over the beef. Taste and add more salt if needed.
Step 6
Serve hot with remaining lime wedges and flaky sea salt on the side.
