INGREDIENTS

1 lb Boneless Ribeye
3 tsp Cayenne Pepper
3 tsp Chili Powder
2 tsp Onion Powder
3 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Oregano
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
2 tsp Crushed Red Pepper
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp Salt
2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
2 tbsp Bread Crumbs
4 tbsp Butter
1/2 tsp Thyme
1/2 tsp Garlic Salt

DIRECTIONS

Cut the ribeye steak into 1-inch cubes. Remember: Ribeye is known for its marbling, a.k.a fat, so you don’t want to cut off all the fat. Feel free to trim large chunks of it as you cube the meat, but you should still see the marbling running through the ribeye cubes. It’ll render down as you cook and keep your steak bites tender and flavorful.
Combine cayenne pepper, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper, paprika, salt, black pepper, and bread crumbs in a medium-sized bowl.
Add steak bites into the mixture and toss until thoroughly coated.
Heat a cast-iron skillet to medium-high with butter.
Once melted, add steak bites to the pan so that they have space between them. Allow to cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Using tongs, turn each steak bite individually onto its other side and allow to cook for another 3-4 minutes. Steak bites should reach about 130 degrees.
Place steak bites on each serving plate and sprinkle with thyme and garlic salt before enjoying.

Recipe Note

If you want to turn these steak bites into an appetizer, you can use mini cupcake paper wraps to hold each one separately or use a toothpick inserted in each bite for a simple grab-and-go snack. Even the picky eaters in the family will probably love this recipe!
