THE BEST CUT OF MEAT TO MAKE STEAK BITES
The best cut to make steak bites is sirloin, in my opinion. Sirloin is naturally lean, full of robust beef flavor, and tender.
When it comes to specialty beef cuts you know I love to use Rumba Meats. There are many reasons why I love Rumba Meats products:
- Their products are vacuum-sealed at the plant to stay fresher in your refrigerator longer.
- Use-by and freeze-by information are clearly labeled on all packages of Rumba Meats.
- All Rumba cuts are processed and packed by hand at Cargill meat facilities, so you get consistent quality in every cut.
- They offer nearly 30 different specialty beef cuts, such as oxtail, marrow bones, hind shank, liver, etc. Now they have added Coulotte (also known as the petite sirloin, sirloin filet or center cut sirloin), which has become one of my fave.
- Most of their products are available at Amazon, which makes my life so much easier.

HOW TO MAKE EASY CHIPOTLE STEAK BITES
- Toss steak cubes in pureed chipotle pepper in adobo.
- Heat skillet or pan to just smoking hot.
- Sear for two minutes each side.
- Once the steak is cooked to your liking, reduce the heat and add butter and garlic to the hot pan.
- Take the pan off the heat and toss your steak bites in the garlic butter. Enjoy!
TIPS AND TRICKS TO MAKE CHIPOTLE STEAK BITES
- Use a really hot skillet, this allows the steak to get crispier and develop that golden crust on the outside.
- DO NOT crowd the pan – cook the steak bites in 2 -3 batches.
- Do not move the steak bites for the first 1 or 2 minutes. You want it to sizzle and brown on one side before flipping them over.
- Don’t overcook the beef, or it will get tough, 1-2 minutes on each side is my recommendation.
- Deglaze pan with butter scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
WHAT TO SERVE EASY CHIPOTLE STEAK BITES WITH
I love to serve Easy Chipotle Steak Bites with yucca fries and guasacaca or chimichurri. Roasted potatoes or rice are great options too.
