👩‍🍳 Expert Tips

Choose the Right Cut: Opt for a well-marbled and tender cut, like London Broil or sirloin, for the juiciest and flavorful steak bites.
Uniform Size for Even Cooking: Cut the steak into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking. This prevents some pieces from being overcooked while others remain undercooked.
Use a Natural Release: After pressure cooking, allow the Instant Pot to release pressure naturally for a few minutes. This helps the steak bites remain juicy and tender, preventing them from drying out.
Add Vegetables Smartly: If incorporating veggies like asparagus, add them after pressure cooking or use the Instant Pot's sauté function. This keeps them crisp and vibrant, complementing the steak bites perfectly.

💭 FAQs

What Is the Best Steak for Steak Bites?

You should choose a high-quality cut of beef steak to make these honey garlic bites because it is the star of the show. Also, be sure not to overcook the beef or else it will become dry and tough.

Can I Use Frozen Beef to Make the Steak Bites?

You can use frozen beef to make this recipe, but you will need to adjust the cooking time. Frozen beef will take longer to cook than fresh. You should add about 5 minutes of additional pressure cooking time for frozen beef.

How Do I Prevent The Steak Bites From Becoming Tough?

Searing the steak before pressure cooking and allowing a natural release helps retain moisture, keeping the steak bites tender.

Can I Cook The Steak Bites With Frozen Vegetables In The Instant Pot?

It’s recommended to add frozen vegetables after pressure cooking or use the sauté function. This maintains their crispness and prevents overcooking.

Can I Marinate The Steak Bites Overnight For More Flavor?

Yes, marinating overnight enhances flavor. For convenience, you can also marinate for at least 30 minutes before cooking.

What’s The Ideal Size For Steak Bite Pieces?

Aim for uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking. This prevents some pieces from being overcooked while others are undercooked.

How Do I Store Leftover Steak Bites?

Allow the Instant Pot steak bites to cool to room temperature before storing them. This prevents condensation and helps maintain their texture. Place the airtight containers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
