Air Fryer Steak Bites
Description
This recipe begins by evenly cutting sirloin steak into bite-sized pieces to ensure uniform cooking. The pieces are tossed in olive oil and seasoning, then air fried at high temperature for short intervals, shaking once midway to promote even browning. The resulting steak bites have a caramelized exterior and tender center.
The garlic butter drizzle applied after cooking adds richness and a mild roasted garlic flavor, complementing the seasoning. Cooking in batches prevents overcrowding, allowing better air circulation and consistent doneness.
These steak bites can be served as a casual snack, appetizer, or part of a meal alongside sides of choice. Garnishing with fresh parsley adds a pop of color and freshness.
For storage, leftover steak bites can be kept in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to four days and reheated gently to preserve juiciness. Choosing steaks with good marbling improves flavor and tenderness.
Ingredients
- 1 pound sirloin steak cut into 1 inch bites
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder divided
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 4 Tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes.
- In the meantime, stir the steak pieces, olive oil, 1 teaspoon of the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.
- Add the steak bites to the air fryer basket and spread out evenly. Air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 minutes. Toss the steak bites around, then fry again for 3 more minutes or until they reach your preferred doneness.
- Stir the melted butter and remaining ½ teaspoon of garlic powder together in a small bowl. Drizzle it on the steak bites before serving with freshly chopped parsley for garnish, if desired.
Notes
- Choose marbled steaks for juicier, more flavorful steak bites.
- Cut steak into even 1-inch pieces to cook uniformly in the air fryer.
- Cook in batches to avoid crowding and ensure even cooking and browning.
- Store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge for up to four days; reheat gently.
