Chimichurri Steak Bites Appetizer
These crazy delicious Chimichurri Steak Bites are the perfect appetizer for any party. They're a super easy to make and fuss-free appy that everyone will LOVE. Bonus points that they're healthy, too!
Friends! I've made you my fav party appy.
Between the May Long Weekend here in Canada and Memorial Day weekend for all my American peeps, we've had a lot of parties over the last few weeks. And of course, there are the hockey playoffs happening, which means there are even more parties to be had. But let's be honest, there's never such a thing as too many parties or too much party food.
Chimichurri steak bites are PERFECT for a party.
- Making these steak bites couldn't be any easier. If you can turn on your grill or your stovetop, you can make these.
- They can be served hot or cold. You can go ahead and make them in advance if you're taking them to a party or don't want to cook when guests arrive.
- The presentation is all about the pile of meat. Nothing fussy here! So many party appetizers are finicky, these are as easy as it gets.
- Most importantly … they are SO DELICIOUS! Between the tasty steak and the easy to make chimichurri sauce, these guys are bursting with flavor.

- Heat a large cast-iron pan over high heat. Working in batches, add the steak bites and sear until they have a golden crust, about 3 minutes. Adjust the heat as needed – you want the pan very hot so that the crust develops before the steak cooks through, but you don't want the steak to burn.
- Let the steak bites rest for 10 minutes then serve them with the chimichurri sauce drizzled over the top of on the side as a dip.

There may be no Canadian teams in the playoffs this year but even the US teams are full of Canadian players, lol. And we Canucks will watch hockey whenever we can get it!
I’ll be making this for summer parties on the deck this summer.

love your recipes and your photos and want to know where you purchased that georgous knife in your photo with the wooden platter thank you diana from toronto
Thank you!
I stole it from my handsome man’s knife collection but will ask him where he got it when he gets home from work. Stay tuned!
So the knife is called Old Hickory and it’s sold by Ontario Knife Company on Amazon. He said it is made of high carbon steel so you have to be careful to wash and dry it right away after you use it. But it’s a beautiful knife and very sharp!
