Myron Mixon Butter Bite: Steak Seasoning Guide
Myron Mixon Butter Bite adds buttery flavor and spice to steaks, burgers, pork, and vegetables. Season evenly and monitor the crust during searing; a savory seasoning can still scorch. This guide covers its flavor, application, and a practical steak method.
For a complementary flavor or technique, see Myron Mixon Savory Q Seasoning: The Complete Guide to Flavor, Uses, and Technique.
Cooking check: Keep advance seasoning rests refrigerated. Cook poultry to at least 165°F, ground beef or pork to 160°F, and whole beef or pork cuts to 145°F followed by a 3-minute rest. Ribs and shoulders generally need additional cooking for tenderness. See the safe minimum internal temperature chart.
The manufacturer describes Butter Bite as a buttery seasoning with a spicy kick. Read the current package for ingredients and dietary needs; butter flavor does not establish a dairy-free product.
This guide answers the most common questions cooks have about Myron Mixon Butter Bite Seasoning, how it behaves on high-heat cooks, and why many pitmasters reach for it when they want richer, steakhouse-style flavor.

Flavor Profile Explained: Buttery, Savory, and Lightly Spiced
Myron Mixon Butter Bite Seasoning is built around rich, buttery flavor with a savory spice backbone. Instead of a heavy pepper punch or sweet BBQ profile, this seasoning focuses on depth, richness, and balance.
The buttery character gives meats a steakhouse-style finish, while the spices add just enough heat and complexity to keep the flavor from feeling flat. It enhances the natural taste of beef and pork without overpowering them.
That balance is exactly why so many cooks love it on steak. It builds flavor fast, supports a strong crust, and complements the fat in the meat.
What Meats Myron Mixon Butter Bite Is Best On
Butter Bite is designed as a versatile seasoning, but certain meats really benefit from its rich, buttery profile.
Steak
Steak is where Butter Bite stands out most. The buttery flavor works with the fat in ribeye, strip steak, sirloin, and flat iron cuts to create a steakhouse-style finish without needing compound butter or heavy sauces.
It is especially strong on:
- Ribeye
- New York strip
- Sirloin
- Flat iron
- Filet mignon
Burgers
Butter Bite gives burgers a rich, savory flavor that tastes closer to a steakhouse patty than a standard backyard burger.
Pork
Pork chops and loin benefit from the buttery richness, especially when grilled over direct heat.
Vegetables
Grilled corn, mushrooms, potatoes, and onions all take on a deeper, more savory flavor when seasoned with Butter Bite.
Butter Bite vs Traditional Steak Rubs
Butter Bite vs SPG (Salt, Pepper, Garlic)
SPG blends are classic and meat-forward, but they lean heavily on salt and pepper for flavor.
- SPG: Simple, traditional, pepper-forward steak flavor
- Butter Bite: Rich, buttery, savory profile with mild heat
Butter Bite is a good choice when you want more depth and richness than a traditional SPG blend provides.
Butter Bite vs Sweet BBQ Rubs
Sweet BBQ rubs contain sugar and are designed for low-and-slow smoking.
- Sweet rubs: Built for caramelization and bark on long cooks
- Butter Bite: Built for high-heat grilling and steakhouse flavor
Do not infer burn resistance or sugar content from a buttery flavor. Follow the current package and keep searing exposure controlled; spices and flavor ingredients can scorch.
Grill vs Smoker vs Flat Top Performance
High-Heat Grilling
This is the ideal environment for Butter Bite. Direct heat helps develop a rich crust while the buttery seasoning enhances the meat’s natural flavor.
Reverse Sear on a Smoker
For reverse searing, season evenly before the gentle cooking stage, then finish with a brief, monitored sear. Searing does not seal juices inside.
Flat Top and Griddle Cooking
Butter Bite performs extremely well on flat tops. The seasoning browns evenly and creates a steakhouse-style crust on burgers, steaks, and vegetables.
How Much Myron Mixon Butter Bite Per Pound
- Steak: 1 teaspoon per pound
- Burgers: 1 teaspoon per pound of ground beef
- Pork chops: 1 to 1.5 teaspoons per pound
- Vegetables: Light, even dusting after oiling
The listed quantities are trial suggestions, not verified manufacturer doses. Judge surface coverage and existing salt; keep advance seasoning rests refrigerated.
Steak Technique: How to Get the Best Results with Butter Bite
Step 1: Choose the Right Cut
Ribeye, strip steak, or sirloin work especially well because the fat complements the buttery seasoning.
Step 2: Season Generously
Apply an even coat without caking it on. A short refrigerated rest is optional for adhesion; do not leave meat out as a required seasoning step.
Step 3: Cook Over High Heat
Grill or sear over high heat to develop a strong crust. Flip once the steak releases naturally from the grates.
Step 4: Rest Before Slicing
Let the steak rest 5 to 10 minutes before slicing to keep juices inside the meat.
Pro Tips for Your Next Cook
- Keep a reference steak: Use Butter Bite alone on one steak before testing it with Myron Mixon Steak Seasoning. Keep combined salt restrained on the layered portion.
- Check dietary ingredients: Butter flavor is not evidence that a product is dairy-free. Read the current Butter Bite package before cooking for someone with milk or other ingredient restrictions.
- Watch the pan surface: On cast iron, inspect the crust before increasing heat. A dark seasoning layer does not prove that the steak’s center has reached its final temperature.
