They’re thick, meaty, and ridiculously flavorful, especially if you cook them correctly.
With that in mind, you’ll want to try these tasty beef cube recipes. There are only 13, but they’re 13 of the best!
Best Beef Cube Recipes We Love
1. Steak Bites With Garlic Butter
Let’s jump right in with one of my all-time favorites: steak bites with garlic butter.
If that title doesn’t make your mouth water, I don’t know what will!
These juicy, garlicky bites are divine. They’re so good that you’ll want to pop them in your mouth right out of the pan.
Yep, just like candy!
Of course, you shouldn’t do that. People might look at you a little funny.
Luckily, there are plenty more bites after the first one. That should give you ample time to enjoy them.
2. Beef Cubes and Gravy
Is there anything better than succulent beef chunks in gravy over mashed potatoes?
Not to a hungry cowboy, there isn’t! Mmm mmm mmm.
Beef cubes in gravy are a Southern staple. The good news is that you don’t have to be in the South to enjoy them.
You’ll just need ten simple ingredients. Then, you can whip them up yourself.
3. Honey Garlic Steak Bites
These sweet-n-savory steak bites have a distinctly Asian flair.
They’re rich, herby, and have just a little heat. They’ll tantalize your tastebuds and have you licking your fingers clean.
Serve them over rice for a complete Asian meal, or pair them with potatoes or steamed veggies if you prefer.
These things taste great with everything.
4. Braised Beef Cubes With Garlic
Braised beef cubes with garlic are a traditional Czech dish. However, they have a flavor you can appreciate no matter where you’re from.
It’s a hearty, meaty dish that you’ll cook low and slow. Czech, American, or Puerto Rican – it’s hard to argue with that.
Serve them with stewed spinach and dumplings for the typical Czech meal. Or just enjoy them by themselves – they’re certainly tasty enough!
5. Cube Steak
Cubed steak recipes are savory, flavorful, and unbelievably tender.
It’s melt-in-your-mouth incredible, and when you add the rich earthiness of mushroom gravy, it’s out of this world.
Plus, it takes just 30 minutes to make. So break out this recipe the next time you need a filling meal in a hurry.
6. 30-Minute Mongolian Beef
Are you crazy about P.F. Chang’s Mongolian beef? If so, this is the copycat recipe for you.
Tender, sliced beef in a sweet and sticky sauce? What’s not to love?
Add a dash of green onions as a garnish, and you’re all set. It’s the same great dish as P.F. Chang’s but much less expensive.
7. Beef Stew
Beef stew is the ultimate comfort food for the colder months of the year. And this recipe is one of my favorites.
It features thick, juicy chunks of beef and loads of fresh veggies and herbs. And best of all, your slow cooker will do most of your work for you.
It doesn’t get much heartier, tastier, or more convenient than that.
8. Beef Wellington Bites
Do you love Beef Wellington? Are you looking for an elegant appetizer for your next party?
If you answered yes to both questions, this recipe is for you.
These beef Wellington bites are the ideal appetizer in every way: they’re easy to make and taste impossibly delicious.
They’re the perfect size for snacking and will wow your guests to boot.
Oh, and they taste fantastic the next day, too, so don’t worry about having leftovers.
9. Cajun Butter Steak Bites
These spicy, buttery steak bites will practically fall apart in your hands. They’re that tender and juicy.
They take just 20 minutes (or less) to make and have the most fantastic texture. The outside edges are delightfully crispy; the insides are sooooo soft.
The only difficulty you’ll have with these is finding a side dish – nothing tastes as good in comparison.
10. Air Fryer Juicy Steak Bites
Did you know that you can make savory, scrumptious steak bites in your Air Fryer?
Well, you do now, and it’s probably the easiest way to cook steak.
You’ll need five simple ingredients and less than 20 minutes. How easy is that?
11. Popcorn Steak Bites
Move over popcorn chicken! Popcorn steak bites are here, and they’re here to stay!
These bite-sized, five-ingredient treats are fantastic.
They have crispy, salty crusts, tender, juicy insides, and taste great with or without dipping sauces.
They’re perfect for on-the-go snacking and make excellent appetizers, too!
12. Juicy Skillet Steak Bites With Potatoes
Good, old-fashioned steak and potatoes. I’m not sure I know anyone who doesn’t like this dish – assuming they eat meat, of course.
If you need a simple dish that’s sure to please a crowd, this one works wonders.
The steak is a little spicy but not too hot, while the potatoes are tender and well-seasoned. Plus, you’ll season the skillet itself really well.
That leaves everything tasting of garlic, pepper, and Italian seasonings. It’s a phenomenal flavor combination.
13. Vegetable Beef Soup
Like the beef stew above, vegetable beef soup is heartwarming and comforting. It’s the soup you eat when you want to feel like you’re home.
It features thick, flavorful chunks of beef, of course. However, there are plenty of veggies, not just carrots, potatoes, and onions.
This soup also includes peas, buttery mushrooms, bay leaves, and more.
If you’re sick or the weather is getting cold, pull out this recipe. It’s the perfect soup for either occasion.
