The first time I tried Black Pepper Garlic Steak Bites was at Taiwanese Night Market Stalls.
You can smell the steak grilling from blocks away, a dish that is impossible to say no to! I love how easy it is to eat and how every bite is super flavourful.
You can adjust the amount of sodium depending on your diet and add a tablespoon of butter if you are not lactose-free. I also love adding fresh herbs in the summer, such as thyme, sage, and rosemary.
The key to the BEST Black Pepper Garlic Steak Bites is to ensure that the beef is not overcooked and is tender and juicy.
Because the steak is cut into small cubes, it is really easy to overcook the meat. Here are my secrets to SUPER TENDER Beef:
- The first one is baking soda. I got this secret from a good friend who works at a Chinese restaurant; it is honestly a game-changer. No more eating tough beef at home, and hello to juicy, tender, silky beef!
- The second tip is baking powder. Baking powder will help crisp up the meat, which will help ensure the outside of the steak is grilled while the inside is still super tender.
With this tip, it doesn’t matter what type of steak you get; it will turn out perfect every time!
Today I am using Angus Beef Chuck Flat, but you can use any cut to make these Black Pepper Garlic Steak Bites.
I recommend using a cut with more marbling and fat such as sirloin, new york, tenderloin, or rib-eye, as the beef will be more tender. Depending on how well you prefer your beef, you can adjust the cooking time.
