What is the best cut of steak to use for these Easy Garlic Steak Bites?
For tender, flavorful steak bites that don’t require extra butter, choose:
- Sirloin steak – lean, affordable, and full of beefy flavor
- Flank steak – great sliced against the grain
- Flat iron steak – slightly richer, still relatively lean
Trim excess visible fat to keep things lighter while still juicy.
What ingredients do I need to make these Easy Garlic Steak Bites?
- Lean steak -sirloin or flank work best. I like to use the sirloin steak.
- Garlic-fresh or powdered
- Kinder’s Buttery Garlic and Herb seasoning-the star ingredient to make these bites flavorful without the butter bath
- Sea salt
- Fresh herbs like parsley or thyme- for garnish
No heavy cream. No butter bath. That’s right; Kinder’s Buttery Garlic and Herb is the star ingredient to make these bites flavorful without the butter bath.

How do I make Easy Garlic Steak Bites?
Cut steak into bite-size cubes and pat dry. This helps get a great sear without extra oil. Spray the bites with olive oil cooking spray.
Heat a cast- iron skillet or Blackstone over medium-high heat. Add steak bites in a single layer ( avoid overcrowding—this keeps them from steaming)

Let them sear undisturbed for 2–3 minutes per side.
Add garlic, Kinders garlic and herb blend and salt.

Once cooked to your liking, remove from heat

Garnish with fresh herbs or a splash of low-sodium soy sauce for depth.

That’s it. Simple, fast, and ridiculously good.
Tips for Juicy Steak Bites Without Extra Fat:
- Let the steak come to room temp before cooking
- Don’t overcook—medium-rare to medium keeps them tender
- Rest briefly before serving to lock in juices
- Use high heat, not more oil, for better browning
