Steak Bites - Quick and delicious steak in half the time

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!

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

Recipe From: Leigh Anne Wilkes
Juicy and flavorful steak cooked indoors in half of the time with this steak bite recipe.
serves: 4 servings
Prep:10 minutes minutes
Cook:10 minutes minutes
Total:20 minutes minutes
Rate Recipe

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

    Hi Leigh Anne: In the past many months, I have been able to directly print off your recipes. Suddenly, I can’t do that. The option of “print” is there at the bottom of the picture, but the print button will not respond. Is there is change that has been made which I have missed? Help please.

      Connie, I did switch my recipe plugin. It will print for me. I’m wondering if it is a browser problem – what browser are you in?

    Teres major also known as shoulder tender would be perfect for this the have no heavy tissue , fat . They are almost as tender as a filet and pack lots of flavor .

    These are even more yummy if you marinade them in a homemade Teriyaki sauce, just soy, brown sugar, fresh garlic and onion powder, refrigerate for a hours on the cute up steak . Then fry them up in a pan with butter, it carmilizes on the steak and so yummy you will want extra for leftovers! getting the pan hot before you start works best.

    Hello! I’m new to your blog and am going to make these steak bites tonight over noodles. (I’m looking for a good gravy recipe to use for it too.) My question is this: Can I pan fry the steak in any other type of pan? And if so, how?? lol. Unfortunately I do not own a cast iron skillet. (I know, I know ????) I’ve been meaning to get one, so I just might have to go buy one today. TJ Maxx usually has nice big ones for a great price. But just in case, your help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a ton!

      Leanne, Yes, you can use whatever frying pan you have on hand but get yourself a cast iron one soon – you won’t regret it!
