RECIPE FAQS
What are steak bites made of?
- Steak bites are made of small cubes of steak that are seared and coated in a garlic butter sauce.
Can I use stew meat as steak bites?
- I do not recommend using stew meat. You may end up with tougher beef. I recommend sirloin, tenderloin, New York strip steak or ribeye. You want a tender cut of beef that isn’t too fatty.
How do you cut steak into cubes?
- You can cut steak into cubes by first cutting steak into strips. Then cut the strips horizontally. If you have a thick piece of meat, you may have to cut the pieces again until they are bite sized.
How long do steak bites last in the refrigerator?
- You can keep steak bites fresh in an airtight container in a refrigerator up to 3 days.
FLAVOR VARIATIONS
These steak bites are fantastic as-is; however, you can change the recipe to suit your own taste!
- Steak: I chose sirloin because it’s tender and flavorful, but it’s not super expensive. Other great choices are tenderloin, rib eye or New York strip steak.
- Spicy: Give your beef an extra kick by adding a little hot sauce to the garlic butter sauce.
- Flavorings: Increase the flavor by dipping your steak bites in steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce or horseradish sauce.
- Garlic: If you don’t have fresh garlic you can use a little garlic powder. However, I recommend using fresh garlic.
When I made these steak bites, my kids and I all grabbed some toothpicks and ate the meat as a snack straight from the pan. It also makes a unique main course over potatoes or with a side of bread to sop up all that garlic butter. However you serve these steak bites, everyone is sure to love them!
