    Easy Steak Bites Recipe

    Garlic steak bites are the perfect party food, main beef protein or appetizer. They are beyond easy to make and turn out tender and delicious every single time. Cook them on the grill or stovetop!

    Recipe Notes for Sirloin Steak Bites

    • If cooking these on the grill, use a cast-iron skillet or heavy duty aluminum foil to keep the bites from falling between the grates and to allow the meat and juices to cook together.
    • A cast iron skillet is recommended for stove top use, as well.
    • Spice up the dish by adding red pepper flakes, hot sauce, cayenne pepper, cajun seasoning or freshly ground black pepper to the marinade.
    • An extra splash of Worcestershire sauce adds so much flavor! Soy sauce is a great marinade addition, as well as olive oil, fresh parsley, garlic powder and lemon juice.
    • Whether cooking on a grill or on the stove top, make sure the temp is set to medium-high heat so you can give the meat a good sear. Adding meat to a hot skillet will help to trap in those delicious meaty flavors.
    • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.

    FAQ About Steak Bites

    Can you use stew meat as steak bites?

    Stew meat can be used to make steak bites, but it typically contains a tougher cut of meat which is better suited for stew. Ideally, steak bites are made with a more tender cut of meat such as sirloin.

    How do you make steak tips tender?

    There are a handful of ways to tenderize steak tips. You can pound the meat before cutting into cubes with a meat mallet. Marinating is also a great option. Probably the most effective option with the least amount of effort is salting the steak prior to cutting and cooking.

    Do you have to marinate your steak bites?

    You do not need to marinate your steak prior to cooking, but most cuts of beef will benefit from marination. It can greatly enhance the flavor of the meat and make it more tender, as well.
