And tender, juicy and so flavorful even you seasoned pro’s will be serving these up over the weekend at your next party!

• garlic powder
• garlic salt
• soy sauce

How to make Teriyaki Steak Bites

1. 1. Mix together all ingredients for the marinade.
   2. Trim steak and cut into 2” pieces.
   3. Place in a ziplock bag and pour marinade over the steak. Squeeze as much air out as possible and tightly seal bag.
   4. Refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight.
   5. Prepare smoked to 225 degrees according to manufacturer’s directions.
   6. Place the steak bites directly on the smoker grates or on a rack. Discard remaining marinade.
   7. Smoke for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until the internal temp is 135 – 140 degrees F.

I was a little hesitant when Jason pulled these off the smoke and then I put into a piece of steak and it was like an explosion in my mouth.

Then I started snitching more out of the pan until he stopped me to let me know that pretty soon I wasn’t going to be able to photograph them because they’d be all gone!

What is the best steak to use?

For this recipe, I recommend using a good top sirloin. Because they are slowly smoked they are tender and juicy. Other cuts you could use:

• New York Strip
• Ribeye
• Tenderloin

The key to this is the marinating of the steak before you smoke the steak bites. It gives it an amazing flavor that you won’t be able to stopping grabbing bites to sample!

These Steak Bites are great for a little appetizer before your party that people can snack on while everyone arrives.

Trust me, they won’t last long that’s for sure!

The outside has a delicious seasoning on it from the marinade, plus it’s a got a nice crisp coating on it from being smoked and the inside is still juicy and delicious.
