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.
