Ingredients
Steak Bites
- 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 freshly ground black pepper
Garlic Butter Drizzle
- 4 Tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking temperature.
- Prepare Steak Bites: In a large bowl, combine the sirloin steak pieces with olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss well to evenly coat the steak with the seasoning.
- Air Fry Steak: Spread the seasoned steak bites evenly in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 minutes. Then, toss or shake the steak bites to ensure even cooking and fry for an additional 3 minutes or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- Make Garlic Butter: Mix the melted butter with the remaining ½ teaspoon of garlic powder in a small bowl.
- Serve: Drizzle the garlic butter over the cooked steak bites before serving. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an added burst of color and freshness.
Notes
- Adjust cooking time slightly based on the size of steak pieces and air fryer model.
- Use a meat thermometer to check doneness for perfect results (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like chimichurri, blue cheese, or steak sauce.
- Let steak bites rest for a couple of minutes after cooking to retain juices.
