What steak is best for this appetizer?

Most cuts of steak will work for this recipe. It's easiest to work with a boneless cut, but you can also use a bone-in cut like a T-bone (you'll just have to cut around the bone). Some great options are:

  • Beef tenderloin
  • Sirloin
  • Skirt steak
  • New York strip

Just make sure you cut the steak into even, bite-sized cubes for even cooking. Don't cut the cubes too big, this is a one bite appetizer.
