Notes

Notes
Are garlic butter steak bites Keto Friendly?
The best thing about steak and seasoning is that it’s low carb and keto! Yes, garlic butter steak bites ARE keto-friendly.
Ninja Foodi Steak Doneness Tips
The 7 minute cooking time in the Foodi was perfect for me. Just slightly pink. Might be more medium-well vs medium, so you will have to cook these to their liking. I’d say try 4-5 minutes for medium, checking if necessary.
These steak pieces are good and easy to make! No preheating was used, so if you make this in batches, maybe knock 1-2 minutes off of your cooking time.
Why Garlic Butter just Makes Sense
Garlic butter uses the fat content and delicious flavor of butter. Combined with garlic and other seasonings, drenching bits of sirloin bites are just perfection. While we like to keep the whole idea simple with limited seasonings, feel free to experiment with fresh rosemary, thyme, pepper flakes oregano, or fresh parsley leaves.
What side dishes go well with steak bites?
Just about any oven-cooked vegetables, a crazy good potato side dish (mashed potatoes or steak fries), and a side of bread or rolls go well with steak.
