Steak Bites Recipe

Preparing the perfect steak can be very intimidating to beginner cooks. Getting that sear nice and crisp, knowing when to flip, reaching the desired level of doneness. It can be a daunting task. But, these buttery, garlic Steak Bites have come to your rescue!

Feel free to use your favorite cut of steak. I use Sirloin. It’s inexpensive and works perfectly in this recipe. Just make sure the steak has a nice marbling of fat. This will result in tender and flavorful steak bites.

Try not to cut them too large. I make them about 1/2 inch. Cut against the grain as well. As far as cooking time, 1 minute per side will render a medium well steak. I find this temp works best for steak bites. If you prefer a well done steak, go for 2 minutes per side. Just know that the bites will not be as tender an juicy.

In order for the steak to sear properly, don’t move them around much and do not crowd the pan. Depending on the amount of steak bites and the size of your skillet, you may have to cook the bites in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Steak Bites have become my favorite quick protein. Done in under 10 mins, these little guys will surely satisfy your midweek steak craving without the hassle. Throw in a veggie and a starch. Dinner is served.

Happy Cooking,
