Air Fryer Steak Bites

Prep Time 10 minutes minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes minutes

Total Time 20 minutes minutes

Servings 4

Ingredients

• ▢ 1 ½ pounds of sirloin steak cut into 1-inch cubes
• ▢ 2 tablespoon olive oil
• ▢ 1 teaspoon salt
• ▢ 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ▢ 1 teaspoon paprika
• ▢ ½ teaspoon of pepper
• ▢ 4 tablespoons of butter Salted
• ▢ 1-2 tablespoons of minced garlic i used the jar of store bought minced garlic
• ▢ 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley minced
• ▢ I served it with garlic aioli. I used a store bought by JL Kraft.

Instructions

• Preheat the air fryer to 400°F
• Cut the steak into 1-inch cubes.
• In a bowl, mix together the steak cubes, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
• Place the seasoned steak cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
• Cook the steak bites at 400°F for 6-10 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F. 6-8 minutes will give you close to medium with not much sear on the outside. If you’d like a darker sear on the outside and a more well-done interior leave them in for longer.
• While the steak bites are cooking, melt the butter in a microwave and mix in the minced garlic and fresh parsley
• Once the steak bites are done toss them in the garlic butter
• Serve and enjoy!
