Steak Bites Recipe
If you’ve been reading this website for long, you’ve likely noticed that I really like to cook meat in small pieces. There’s nothing better than the way each bite winds up with an abundance of flavor after such a short cooking time. Steak Bites are one of my favorite ways to cook beef. Whether you choose to start with the original Steak Bites, Asian Steak Bites, Buttered Steak Bites with Mushrooms, or these Indian Spiced Steak Bites you won’t be disappointed.
We like to serve these Indian Spiced Steak Bites over this Carnitas Salad Bowl (just swap the pork for these steak bites), with Turmeric Butter Rice, or with these Turmeric Roasted Potatoes and Green Beans. The Indian Spiced Steak Bites are also delicious with Aloo Bhaji (Spiced Indian Potatoes with Onions and Vegetables), Aloo Gobi (Spiced Indian Cauliflower and Potatoes), or Indian Spiced Roasted Sweet Potatoes.
How To Cook Steak Bites
The perfect steak bites start with a flat iron steak or a skirt steak. You’ll want to slice the meat into bite size (less than 1-inch) pieces of meat, slicing against the grain wherever applicable. With steak bites, you’re cutting the meat into small enough pieces that that cut against the grain isn’t as crucial as in recipes where you are slicing beef into strips. To cook steak bites, you need a screaming hot skillet. You’ll want to sear the outside of each piece quickly, leaving it juicy and medium rare inside. If your tastes lean more toward well done, you can certainly cook the meat a minute longer, but I’m telling you now that it won’t be nearly as juicy or flavorful. And that’s just the truth as spoken by a girl who used to request well done and has fully crossed over to the medium rare world of delicious beef. Kitchen Tip: I use this skillet, these tongs, and this spatula to make this recipe.
