💡 Pro Tips for the Best Steak Bites

✔ Use the Right Cut – Sirloin is perfect for steak bites, but you can also use ribeye, New York strip, or filet mignon for extra tenderness.
✔ Don’t Overcrowd the Pan – Cook steak in batches if needed to get a perfect sear. Overcrowding causes steaming instead of browning.
✔ Let the Steak Rest – Covering the steak with foil while making the sauce keeps it juicy and allows flavors to settle.
✔ Adjust the Sauce – If the sauce gets too thick, add a splash of chicken broth or milk to thin it out.
