❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Garlic Butter Steak Bites

Q: What type of steak is best for this recipe?

A: You can use any type of steak you like for this recipe – ribeye, sirloin, or even flank steak will work beautifully. Just make sure to slice it thinly so it cooks evenly.

Q: Can I use pre-minced garlic instead of fresh cloves?

A: While pre-minced garlic is convenient, I highly recommend using fresh cloves instead. The flavor just isn’t the same when you use pre-minced garlic.

Q: How do I store leftover garlic butter steak bites?

A: If you have leftovers (which is unlikely!), you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to 2 months. When reheating, simply bake them in the oven until warmed through.

Q: Can I make these steak bites ahead of time?

A: Yes! You can prepare the garlic butter mixture up to 24 hours in advance and store it in the fridge until ready to assemble the bites.

Q: Are these steak bites suitable for special diets?

A: Unfortunately not – these bites contain beef and butter, making them unsuitable for vegetarians or vegans.
