Ingredients
Steak
- 1 lb top sirloin steak cut into bite-size pieces
- ½ tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp allspice
- 1 tsp garlic minced

- 1 ½ tbsp butter

- 1 tbsp parsley flakes
Instructions
- Add the steak pieces, salt, black pepper, allspice, and garlic to a large bowl.
- Add the olive oil.
- Mix until the steak pieces are well-coated with the seasoning.
- Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 400º F.
- Once heated, add the seasoned steak bites to the basket.
- Air fry them for 6-10 minutes or to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak bites. Depending on how you like them cooked, you can aim for the following temperatures: Rare (125°-130° F), Medium Rare (130°-140° F), Medium (140°-150° F), Medium Well (150°-160° F), Well (Over 160° F).
- As the steak cooks, melt the butter before mixing it with the minced garlic and parsley flakes in a bowl.
- Once cooked, toss each steak bite in the garlic butter until well-coated.
- Place them on a plate, serve, and enjoy!

Notes
- Get Even: Make sure to cut the meat into small, same-sized portions so they’ll cook evenly in the air fryer.
- No Preheating Option? No Problem: If your air fryer doesn't have a preheat function, just heat it for about 5 minutes before cooking the steak.
- Don’t Overcrowd: Don’t place too many steak bites in the air fryer basket at once so there’ll be enough space for air circulation. This will give you evenly cooked, crisped-up pieces. Best to cook in batches if you're making them for a crowd.
- Just Flip It: To ensure the steak bites are evenly seared on both sides, flip them midway through cooking.
- Cooking The Steak Bites: If you’re wondering how long to cook steak bites in the air fryer, below is the quick rundown of cooking times depending on the level of doneness you want: Rare: About 6 minutes; Medium Rare: About 7 minutes; Medium: About 8 minutes; Medium Well: 8-9 minutes; Well: 9-10 minutes.
