Air Fryer Steak Bites
Description
The Air Fryer Steak Bites recipe uses cubed steak seasoned simply with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, all coated in avocado oil and liquid aminos. The seasoning imparts savory and lightly smoky notes. Cooking the steak in the air fryer at 400°F for about 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally, ensures even browning and a tender interior. The air fryer method minimizes added fats while producing a gentle caramelized crust.
This dish serves well as a bite-sized meat snack or can be paired with dipping sauces such as homemade garlic butter. The recipe suggests preparing garlic butter by melting butter with minced garlic, which complements the steak’s flavors when served alongside.
The included notes recommend melting butter with garlic in the microwave for a quick dipping sauce, though stovetop preparation is also an option. Using quality steak and monitoring cooking times helps prevent overcooking and keeps the bites juicy.
Ingredients
- 1 pound steak sirloin, new york strip, ribeye, etc, chopped into cubes
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil
- 2 tsp liquid aminos or soy sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp salt to taste, sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer at 400 degrees for 4 minutes.
- Add all of the ingredients to a mixing bowl and stir well until everything is coated in oil and seasoning.
- Transfer the raw steak bites to the air fryer.
- Air fry 10 to 20 minutes or until steak reaches desired done-ness, stopping twice throughout the air fry process to shake the drawer. I let mine go for about 12 to 15 minutes and they turn out perfectly tender and juicy.
Notes
- Prepare a garlic butter dipping sauce by melting butter with minced garlic in the microwave or on the stove before serving.
- Shake the air fryer basket twice during cooking for even browning of the steak bites.
- Cook steak bites to your preferred doneness between 10 to 20 minutes, typically 12 to 15 minutes for medium rare.
