Garlic Steak Bites

Garlic Steak Bites

These tender, garlicky beef cubes are super addicting and the ultimate crowd pleaser!

If you love garlic and you love steak, these Garlic Steak Bites will blow your mind. Every single cube is the perfect bite; this dish is perfect for garlic lovers like me! One of my favorite summer recipes is healthy and packed with protein and paired with a side of rice, Japanese Ginger salad, and Asian Honey Garlic Potato for the perfect meal. 

Steak Recipes

The first time I’ve ever tried Garlic Steak Bites was at Taiwanese Nightmarket Stalls.

I love how easy it is to eat and how every bite is super flavourful. Depending on your diet, you can adjust the amount of butter and sodium. I also love adding fresh herbs in the summer, such as thyme, sage, and rosemary.  

Garlic Steak Bites

The key to the BEST 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. 

Angus beef

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 cutting against the grain. Always cut against the grain, so the meat doesn’t become over chewy. With this tip, it doesn’t matter what type of steak you get; it will turn out perfect every time! 
Garlic Steak Bites

I am using Angus Beef Chuck Flat, but you can use any cut to make these Garlic Steak Bites.

I recommend using a cut with more marbling and fat such as sirloin, tenderloin, or rib-eye, as the beef will be more tender. Depending on how well done you prefer your beef, you can also adjust the cooking time. 

Air Fryer Soy Sauce Chicken Wings

Do you like these SUMMER RECIPES? Here are some of my go-to recipes that are the ultimate crowd-pleaser- 

  • Air Fryer Soy Sauce Chicken Wings (MUST TRY!)
  • Japchae – Korean Glass Noodle Stir-fry
  • The BEST Pork and Chives Dumplings
  • CREAMY Crab Rangoon Dip with Homemade Wonton Chips
Garlic Steak Bites

Ingredients 

  • 2 piece of Steak 
  • 1.5 tbsp of minced garlic 
  • 1.5 tbsp of Oil 
  • Salt and Pepper 
  • 2.5 tbsp of Chinese Cooking Wine (optional) 
  • 2 tbsp of Soy Sauce 
  • 1 tsp of Baking Soda 
  • 6 cloves of Garlic (thinly sliced) 
  • 1 stalk of Green Onion (chopped) 
  • 1-2 tbsp of Butter 
  1. Cut steak into bite-sized pieces and marinate with 1.5 tbsp of oil, salt and pepper, minced garlic, soy sauce, Chinese cooking wine, and baking soda. Set aside for 10-20 minutes. 
  2. In a pan, drizzle in oil (around 3 tbsp), and once the pan is hot, add in the sliced garlic. Let the garlic fry for 2-3 minutes until crispy and brown. This step will be fragrant the oil. 
  3. Remove the garlic, and turn the heat up to medium-high. Add in the steak cubes and let them sit for 30 seconds – 1 minute. 
  4. After 1 minute, fry on high heat for another 2-3 minutes. Add back in the garlic. 
  5. OPTIONAL, add in 1-2 tbsp of butter and fry for another 1 minute. 
  6. Garnish with green onion and enjoy!

    Is it ok to marinate the steak longer – like around 3-4 hours?

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
