Idaho Bite Size Steak

Bite size steak is one of those recipes special to my area, but it is the BEST way to enjoy your steak. This steak is marinated, cut into bite size pieces, breaded and deep fried for optimal flavor!

Many questions I have heard over Bite Size is whats the difference between Steak Bites, Finger Steaks and Bite Size? My answer: EVERYTHING! Steak bites are simply cut up pieces of steak and finger steaks are simply breaded steak strips. Bite size on the other hand is marinated over night, battered, and deep fried to give you the best result.

I use sirloin steak for my recipe, but you can really use any cut of steak you prefer. The key here is that you are marinating the steak for at least 12 hours! Preferably 24 hours. You cannot skip this step because it will NOT taste correctly! I repeat DO NOT SKIP MARINATING THE STEAK. Whew! Sorry I didn’t mean to yell, but if you ask anyone from my area they will die on the hill that Bite Size Steak is way better than anything else! And as I said the marinating process is one of the things that separates it from Finger Steaks.

What Ingredients are in Bite Size Steak?

• Steak – I use sirloin, but any cut of meat will work!
• Marinade Mixture: beef broth, honey, garlic, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce
• Breading Mixture: cornstartch, flour cornmeal, garlic powder, pepper, paprika, salt

How to make Bite Size Steak

Making bitesize steak isn’t difficult! It just requires time. You must plan ahead so that you are marinating the meat. This step is KEY! Please don’t skimp it will make or break how the end result tastes! After you have marinated your steak just toss it into the flour and spice mixture to bread and deep fry them for a few minutes. You don’t want to over cook! I will typically cook them for 5-6 minutes total for a medium rare finish!
