Sabertooth Tigers belongs to the group of carnivorous just like the present tigers. So they're diet is meat from other animals.
Saber toothed cats were carnivores. They had specific adaptations for hunting megafaunal mammals. These included bison, mammoths, mastodons, camelops (American camels) etc.
According to enchantedlearning.com : "Smilodon was a carnivore, a meat-eater. This ferocious hunter may have eaten thick-skinned prey like mastodons (hairy, extinct elephants), horses, and bison. It probably ambushed its prey since its short legs limited its running speed. Its hunting strategy may have been to mortally wound its prey with its saber-like teeth, probably in the belly, and let the victim bleed to death. Smilodon, like most meat-eaters, may also have been a scavenger. "

Saber toothed cats were a subfamily of cats that lived on every continent except Australia and Antarctica, and existed for 28 million years. The diet of each species varied, depending on what animals were available in their habitat. One of the most famous species, Smilodon fatalis, hunted animals such as bison, American camels, mammoths, mastodons, deer, and horses.

The saber toothed tiger had a meat diet so this means that it eats woolly mammoths, antelope and buffalo.

They would have had a big group of saber tooths, called a pack, to kill the animal.

Answer

They hunted big game animals like bison, horses, deer, American camels (called camelops), juvenile mammoths and mastodons, and possibly giant ground sloths.

A lot of people will say lion , however they are wrong because they are just stupid lion fans that know nothing about a tiger's advantages.
