Steak is a savory addition to any dish and who knew it could have gotten any better? These delicious Mexican Steak Bites make it easy to eat taco seasoned steak served with a cheesy queso sauce.
Taco Steak Bites with Queso
This is an appetizer that could make anyone perk up with excitement. My family loves this savory and cheesy recipe that is so simple to make. The tender meat melts in your mouth like butter and the queso (which is similar to our Rotel dip with ground beef, but without the beef) is slightly spicy and flavored with tomatoes and chiles.

Key Ingredients You’ll Need
Steak: You can use any cut of meat whether that be chuck roast or stew beef.
Seasoning: You will need dried minced onion or onion powder, minced garlic, and taco seasoning. For additional flavor, you can add tomatoes with green chiles.
White Queso: I like to use white Velveeta cheese queso, but any yellow kind will work as well.
How To Make Mexican Steak Bites
Step 1. Add the beef, garlic, onion, and seasonings into a large bowl and combine until coated evenly. Put the ingredients into the crock pot. Pour in the water and place the butter on top. Allow the ingredients to cook for 4-6 hours on low or 4 hours on high until tender.
Step 2. When you’re ready to enjoy, prepare the queso. Add the cheese into a medium saucepan along with the drained tomatoes and chiles. Combine on medium-low heat until melted. Take the steak bites out of the slow cooker with a slotted spoon and serve with the warm queso. Enjoy!
What To Serve With Mexican Steak Bites?
I love serving this dish as an appetizer for parties and get-togethers, but you can also serve it as a normal dinner or lunch recipe. You can make tacos, burritos, bowls, etc with the meat or serve over Spanish-style rice or potatoes. Serve with chips or bread as well if desired.

- Use fresh or powdered garlic.
- For more of a kick, you can add into diced jalapenos to the steak or queso.
