Why You’ll Love This High Protein Recipe
This dish is a go-to for fitness-minded cooks and flavor-lovers alike.

Tips for Juicy, Flavorful Beef Bites
Choose well-marbled stewing beef or sirloin tips for the best results in the slow cooker—they break down beautifully and soak in the buttery garlic flavors. For even, quick chopping of your garlic and onions, a Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper helps streamline prep and keeps flavors consistent.
For the most balanced sauce, whisk together the butter, garlic, herbs, and seasoning before pouring over your meat—this ensures even coating and maximum absorption as everything cooks low and slow.
Effortless Meal Prep and Storage
After cooking, let your beef bites cool slightly before portioning out meals. Using a set of Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers keeps them perfectly fresh whether you’re storing in the fridge for quick weeknight dinners or freezing for later.
Reheating is a breeze—simply microwave, or if you want to crisp the edges a bit, pop them in your COSORI Air Fryer for a few minutes before serving.
