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!
Start with a hot skillet and melt the butter. Then add the cubed steak.
Sear all sides on high heat until a crust forms around the steak cubes. Then add garlic, optional Worcestershire sauce and seasonings.
Cook steak bites to your preferred doneness. Add some chopped parsley, more salt/pepper if needed.

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.
