Why You’ll Love This Recipe
If you love steak, but want a quick and easy way to prepare it indoors, these steak bites are for you! I have made these twice in the last few weeks because they are so easy and delicious. If you are eating Paleo or Whole30 these are a great recipe choice!
They are great when you have lighter eaters at your dinner table. No need to deal with a large piece of meat. Just take as many bites as you like. No waste!
Ingredients Needed
You only need a few ingredients to make these delicious steak bites.
- Sirloin Steak
- Butter
- Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper
How to Make Steak Bites
- Cut steak into large bite size pieces.
- Heat up a cast iron pan nice and hot. If you don’t have a cast iron pan use a heavy skillet.
- Add butter and let it melt.
- Cook steak to your desired doneness. I like my meat medium to medium rare. And the small pieces make the cooking time quick! So make sure to watch your meat.

Steak Bites Recipe
Juicy and flavorful steak cooked indoors in half of the time with this steak bite recipe.
Prep:10 minutes
Cook:10 minutes
Total:20 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 lb sirloin steak
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Trim off the large obvious pieces of fat that run along the side of the meat
- Cut strips less than 1 inch wide
- Rotate the meat and cut into small bite-sized pieces
- If you see anymore large chunks of fat, gristle or long silvery membranes cut them off
- Sprinkle generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Toss the meat around a bit to thoroughly coat with the seasonings
- 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
- The point here is to 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 to 45 seconds
- You want it to sizzle and brown on one side
- Now 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 seconds or so – just long enough to sear the outside of the meat but NOT cook the inside
- (LA Note: I like my meat medium to medium-well so I cooked mine longer.)
- 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

Scrolling through Pinterest, I was so surprised to find this recipe! My grandfather who immigrated here from Belgium, would make this family favorite, as did my mother and now myself. It was called “dup” (?spelling) steak. Although there are a few differences, I’m sure it taste the same. Using a hot cast iron pan, & butter, you add large pieces of round steak. After both sides are seared, fork each piece of steak and cut in half using a scissors, working very quickly (that’s the key) continue until you have a pan of small bite size pieces. Cutting the meat in different directions breaks the fibers to create tender bites, and the juices combine with the butter to make a delicious gravy.
