Steak Bites Recipes

JUICY GARLIC BUTTER STEAK BITES

Steps:

• Pat 2 pounds of sirloin steak dry, and cut into bite-size pieces. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Once it's hot, add the steak in a single layer. You may have to cook in batches to avoid over-crowding the pan.
• Remove from the skillet to a serving dish. If cooking in batches, add a bit more olive oil to the pan before cooking the next batch.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic butter. Allow to melt, then pour over the steak bites.
• Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve. Enjoy!

STEAK BITES

Steps:

• If your sirloin needs trimmed, remove the bone and cut off all of the white/gristle. Cut steak in to 1 inch cubes and season with salt and pepper.
• In a cast iron (preferred, but can use regular skillet too -- see notes in post), melt butter over medium-high heat until butter starts to turn brown.
• As soon as butter turns brown, place sirloin in the skillet. The skillet/butter should be hot enough that it sizzles when the meat is added. This is GOOD! The steak is getting it's "sear" that is so flavorful and MAKES this recipe so good!
• After about 30-60 seconds, check to see if underside of at least one piece is brown (with sear). If it is, flip over all of the pieces so the other side can cook and get the "sear".
• Cook for another 30-seconds (or until "sear" shows) and quickly remove from skillet in to serving dish.
• Let the steak rest for a minute, sprinkle on additional kosher salt, if desired, to allow the meat to finish cooking and soak in that flavor. Serve immediately!

STEAK BITES

Steps:

• Trim off the large obvious piece of fat that runs along the side of the meat. Next, cut strips less than 1-inch wide. Rotate the meat and cut into small bite-sized pieces. If you see any more large chunks of fat, gristle or long silvery membrane, cut them off.Sprinkle generously with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Toss the meat around a bit to thoroughly coat with the seasonings. Next, turn on your ventilation fan overhead. Heat the skillet over medium high to high heat. As the pan heats, add about 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet. Allow the butter to melt, then brown, before you add the meat.Place some of the meat in the pan in a single layer. It should sizzle loudly when it hits the pan - if it doesn't, the pan isn't hot enough. Don't stir or disrupt the meat for 30-45 seconds. You want it to sizzle and brown on one side. Scoop as many steak bites as you can with your spatula and flip them over. Repeat until all the meat is turned. Cook for an additional 30 to 45 seconds-just long enough to sear the outside of the meat but NOT cook the inside.Remove the meat to a clean plate. Add a little more butter to the pan and repeat the cooking process with the next batch just as before. Lastly, when all the meat is nicely browned and removed to the plate, pour all that browned/blackened butter all over the meat. And enjoy!

SOUTHWEST STEAK BITES

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a deep fryer or heavy skillet to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
• In a bowl, beat together the egg and milk. In a resealable plastic bag, mix the flour, mesquite seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Dip the steak pieces in the egg mixture, then place in the plastic bag, seal, and shake to coat.
• In the hot oil, fry the coated steak pieces in small batches until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
