Recipe View Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, such as barbeque sauce, salsa, or a creamy avocado dip.

For a less spicy version, reduce or omit the cayenne pepper.
To ensure even cooking, cut the steak into uniformly sized pieces.
A cast iron skillet works great for frying these steak bites as it maintains heat well.
Feel free to experiment with different seasoning blends to customize the flavor to your liking. A chili-lime seasoning would also be delicious!
