What is the best cut of steak for steak tips or steak bites?
For the types of steak, we recommend cooking with your favorite. Depending on the budget, we prefer ribeye, sirloin, tri-tip, and chuck shoulder steaks (aka London Broil steaks). They are flavorful with enough fat and when seared on the pan with the garlic butter, each bite is juicy and delicious! Tough cuts like brisket, eye of round roast and rump roast should be avoided. Those cuts are better for slow cooking or braising to breakdown the meat. The air fryer won’t cook those tough cuts to be tender.
How to Cook Steak Bites in Skillet:
- Start with a hot skillet and melt the butter. Then add the cubed steak. Lay the steak cubes in a single layer.
- Sear all sides on high heat until a crust forms around the steak cubes. Then add garlic, optional Worcestershire sauce and seasonings.

Garlic butter goes so well with steak. Yummmm!
The steak bites came out packed with flavor. Awesome recipe!
Just found this recipe. What sides would go good with these steak bites. I would like to try them.
Hi Margaret, asparagus or potato wedges would be great side dishes!
I made these tonight and they were so favorable! Thank you
I used a cheaper cut sirloin steak and cut them into smaller pieces. Added some onions and they turned out incredible. Hubby ate it so fast, next time I’ll have to make double.
I couldn’t believe how easy this was to make! Loved it. I cut my sirloin in smaller pieces than your photo. So I cooked it for 2 minutes less. Came out perfect.
This recipe was so tasty!! I can’t wait to make this again.
These bite-sized cuts were perfect for my growing boys. And the meat came out tender and with so much flavor. It’s really good. I’m definitely making this again.
I’m so addicted to this recipe. Everything from the steak to the garlic butter is absolutely perfect.
The garlic and butter makes these steak bites so darn addicting. We seriously can’t stop eating it. It’s so good.
