Choosing the Right Meat

Best Cuts for This Recipe

For the most tender and flavorful steak bites, consider using these cuts:

  • Ribeye – Naturally marbled, ensuring a juicy texture.
  • Sirloin – A balance of tenderness and affordability.
  • Tenderloin – The softest cut, though pricier.

Buying Tips

  • Look for bright red beef with visible marbling.
  • Ask your butcher for freshly cut steak rather than pre-packaged.
  • Choose grass-fed beef for a richer flavor.

Substitutions

  • If beef is unavailable, substitute with pork tenderloin for a similar texture.
  • Use chicken thighs for a lighter alternative with equal juiciness.
