Choosing what to serve as a side dish can be difficult but we have you covered with a few of our favorites. Try Garlic Roasted Potatoes, or Pasta with Zucchini and Cherry Tomatoes for starters.

But don't stop there, maybe a Wild Rice Pilaf is more your style and if not a traditional Macaroni and Cheese is sure to please.

What cut of Steak if best for Pan Frying?

What Oil should I use to Cook Steak?

Always heat the pan first. Just trust me here. Get it good and hot.

When I cook on the stove I like to use a cast iron pan. It just works magic. Then I use an Olive Oil (you can of course use a Canola Oil if needs be) and some butter. This is just personal preference.

Once my pan is hot, I turn down the heat to cook my steak or steak bites.

Is it okay to marinate overnight?

You would think the answer is yes, but truly the answer is "maybe". If your marinade has alcohol, acid or salt you do not want to marinate over night because those ingredients will begin the cooking process.

You are best to only marinate for up to 4 hours. If your marinade does not contain those items then you should be good to marinate away!

How to Air Fry Steak Bites?

I'm in love with my air fryer. Being a mom can be hard work and by the end of the day making dinner is just sometimes too much.

I can use an Air Fryer to cook Steak Bites to perfection while I'm cleaning my kitchen or folding laundry. That's a win in my book.

To make Honey Balsamic Steak Bites in the Air Fryer, mix up your marinade and allow to marinate for 30 minutes to 4 hours.

The longer the better to allow each cube of steak to absorb all that goodness.

Preheat your Air Fryer to 400 degrees for 4 minutes and then place the Steak Bites in the basket in a single layer for 5 minutes. Turn over and cook an additional 5 minutes.

This will give you a nice Medium cooked steak bite. So cook short or longer depending on what you prefer keeping in mind that different size air fryers may cook differently.

How To Cook Steak Bites on the Stove

Take your steaks and cut them up in 1 in cubes. In a gallon ziplock bag add all your spices and vinegar. Mix to combine.

Place your cubed steak into the ziplock bag and shake to coat all pieces of steak. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes to 4 hours. The longer the better, but even an hour is great.

Over medium to high heat, heat up a frying pan or cast iron pan with 2 Tbls of Olive Oil.

Allow the oil to get hot. Remove cubed steak from marinade and place in hot pan to cook.

Cook each side for about 1 to 1 ½ minutes and then flip over using tongs or a fork and cook for 1 – 1 ½ minutes on the other side.

This will be perfect for a medium/well steak bites. If you like a more rare steak bite you will need to cook for less time on each side.

Adjust the time according to your own preference.

Honey Balsamic Steak Bites will come off the heat perfect and ready to eat.

They are infused with honey and balsamic vinegar and absolutely delicious. Use your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy these little babies.

Serve with a salad, baked potato, rice or veggies. This will be a recipe you come back for for sure.
