Can I use a different cut of steak?

Absolutely! While sirloin is my go-to for its perfect balance of tenderness and flavor, flank steak works beautifully too. Just slice it thin across the grain after cooking. For special occasions, I splurge on filet mignon cubes - they melt like butter!

Can I make these in an air fryer?

You bet! My air fryer steak bites come out amazing at 400°F for 6-8 minutes (shake halfway). The garlic butter gets added after cooking since the hot air can blow it around. They won't get quite as crusty as skillet-seared, but the convenience is killer!

How do I prevent the garlic from burning?

Two tricks: 1) Reduce heat to medium-low before adding butter and garlic, and 2) Keep everything moving constantly once the garlic hits the pan. Burnt garlic turns bitter fast - trust me, I learned this the smoky, tearful way!

Are these steak bites keto-friendly?

Totally! With just 1g net carb per serving, these are my keto meal prep lifesaver. I skip any starchy sides and pair them with roasted Brussels sprouts or zucchini noodles to keep it low-carb.

Can I prep these ahead?

Yes! I often cut and season the steak cubes up to 24 hours ahead. Just keep them chilled until cooking time. For fastest cooking, let them sit at room temp for 15 minutes before searing.
