Cooking Tips for Perfect Steak Bites
To achieve the perfect steak bites, start by heating your pan or skillet to a smoking hot temperature. This ensures a nice sear and crust on the edges of the meat while keeping it juicy and tender on the inside. Here’s how to do it:
- Toss the steak pieces in our homemade Cajun seasoning.
- Heat your skillet or pan until it’s smoking hot.
- For medium steak bites, sear each side for two minutes. For well-done bites, sear for 3-4 minutes per side.
- Once the steak is cooked to your liking, reduce the heat and add some butter and garlic to the hot pan.
- Take the pan off the heat and toss the steak bites in the garlic butter. That’s it!
The Cajun seasoning will meld with the butter, creating a mouthwatering sauce for your bites.
Choosing the Best Steak
For this recipe, we recommend using tender New York Strip Steak, also known as porterhouse steak. However, feel free to experiment with other cuts such as sirloin steak, rump, tenderloin, eye fillet, scott fillet, or rib eye. The choice is yours!
Additional Tips for Success
To prevent the butter from burning, start by searing your steak bites in oil (canola, vegetable, or coconut oil work fine). The butter is added at the end to create that delicious Cajun sauce.
If you have a cast iron skillet, it’s the perfect tool for this recipe. Nothing beats the taste of steak cooked in cast iron! However, if you don’t have one, a good quality nonstick pan that can handle high temperatures will do the trick.
Finally, make sure to keep a close eye on your steak bites while they’re in the pan. They only need 2 minutes per side. Use tongs to check on them and ensure they’re not overcooking or burning.
