Additional Tips and Information

What is ghee?
Ghee is clarified butter meaning that the milk protein has been removed. This makes it perfect for frying on high temperatures since it won't burn as easily as butter.
Budget tips
Ask the butcher if they have steak bites you could buy. Some butchers will charge a lot less for steak bites even if the cut is typically more expensive since the pieces are too small to sell as a full steak.
I don't eat red meat
You could replace the meat with any meat of your preference. For example chicken, pork tenderloin, lamb or even fish or shrimps. Just make sure to adjust the cooking methods accordingly.
Want juicer steak bites?
If you choose a less tender cut of meat like flank, you can marinate in advance to tenderize and flavour the meat. A combination of tamari, vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, dried parsley works very nicely with this dish.
