Easy Chipotle Steak Bites are a meat lover’s dream come true!
Lots of delicious juice and tender steak bites smothered in a yummy buttery chipotle garlic sauce!
This Easy Chipotle Steak Bites recipe is packed with so much flavor and is so easy to throw together! You basically need just 4 ingredients: beef, a can of chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, butter, and garlic.
These take minutes of prep and minutes to cook. A super easy and quick recipe that packs quite a punch!
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.
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 on 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 the 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.

Ingredients

- 1 can (7 oz / 199 gr) Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil, divided
- 1/4 cup butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
Instructions
- Season beef cubes with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Place the chipotles in adobo in a small food processor and purée until smooth.
- Add the chipotle puree to the beef and toss to evenly coat. Let marinade for 15 – 30 minutes, or even overnight if time allows.
- Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a skillet or pan over medium-high heat until hot. Sear the steak bites in batches for 2-3 minutes each side until edges are crispy and browned, adding extra oil as needed. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet and heat until melted. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute) while scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
- Take the pan off the heat. Throw the steak bites back into the skillet and toss through the garlic butter to evenly coat.
- Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro. Serve warm with yucca fries, roasted potatoes, or white rice, if desired
Oriana’s Notes
BEEF: The best cut of meat to make steak bites is top sirloin. Try to cut the cubes the same size for even cooking.
CHIPOTLE: chipotle peppers in adobo is quite spicy so feel free to add just the half of the can if you just want a little spicy kick.
