Why You Will Love This Recipe
Growing up, my dad would always whip up quick stir-fries after a long day at work. He always made sure they were packed with flavor and protein to keep us going. These High Protein Garlic Butter Beef Bites remind me of those nights – simple, comforting, and full of love (and garlic, of course!). It’s my take on that tradition, elevated with lean beef and a punchy garlic butter sauce.
