Can I use a different cut of steak?

Absolutely! Sirloin's my go-to for lean tenderness, but when my budget's tight, I use flank steak (just slice it thinner across the grain). Ribeye makes them extra juicy - my butcher calls it 'poor man's filet mignon' bites! Avoid super tough cuts though, unless you like chewing contests.

How should I store leftovers?

Here's my method from years of testing: cooled bites in an airtight container with a paper towel underneath (sops up moisture). They keep beautifully for 3 days in the fridge - if they last that long! Reheat gently in a skillet to restore that crispiness. Protip: Great cold in salads too!

Can I freeze steak bites?

You bet! I always make a double batch to freeze. Spread cooked, cooled bites on a baking sheet to freeze individually before bagging (prevents clumping). They keep up to a month - perfect for when my son's hungry hockey team descends on my kitchen! Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
