Sweet Sticky Steak Bites (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Beef
01 -
4 filet mignon steaks, each about 5 cm thick
→ Seasonings
02 -
2 tbsp activated charcoal seasoning mix
03 -
2 tbsp mild BBQ spice blend
04 -
2 tbsp steak rub (use salt, cracked pepper, and a bit of garlic powder if you like)
→ Sauce and Toppings
05 -
120 ml classic BBQ sauce
06 -
55 g dark brown sugar
07 -
55 g plain unsalted butter
# Instructions:
01 -
Let those steak bites stay hot and dig in—grab them as little bites or pile them on a plate for a full meal.
02 -
Pop the pan or skillet right back on the smoker. Close it up and let everything go until your steak bites hit 54°C, the butter totally melts in, and the sauce gets sticky.
03 -
Move your cooked steak bites into a cast iron skillet or foil tray. Pour over the BBQ sauce, scatter brown sugar on top, and throw some dots of butter around so it melts everywhere.
04 -
Set the rack filled with steak cubes onto the smoker grates. Shut the lid and hang tight for about an hour or until the middle of the steak bites read 49°C inside.
05 -
Grab a beef cube, dunk each end into the charcoal rub, then roll the sides around in your combined spice blends. Put them all on a cooling rack so they’re ready to wait their turn.
06 -
Pile your BBQ rub and steak spice blend together on one plate, with the charcoal rub hanging out on its own on another plate.
07 -
Trim off any shiny skin or chunky fat from your steaks first. Now cut the steak up into cubes—around 4 cm each should do it.
08 -
Start heating your smoker up to 107°C. Make sure it’s all warmed up and the heat gets to every corner before you get rolling.
# Notes:
01 -
To really turn out bold flavor, get every steak cube good and covered with those spices. A bit of patience with the smoke makes everything tender and tasty.
