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
Butter Sauce
- 4 Tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for cooking the steak bites evenly.
- Season 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. Stir well to coat the steak evenly with the seasonings.
- Air Fry Steak Bites: Place the seasoned steak bites evenly in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 minutes, then toss or shake the basket to turn the pieces. Continue air frying for another 3 minutes or until the steak reaches your preferred level of doneness and is crispy on the outside.
- Prepare Garlic Butter Sauce: While the steak is cooking, mix the melted butter with the remaining ½ teaspoon of garlic powder in a small bowl, blending well to infuse the butter with garlic flavor.
- Serve and Garnish: Once cooked, transfer the steak bites to a serving dish and drizzle the garlic butter over them. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a fresh, vibrant finish before serving.
Notes
- For more tender bites, allow the steak to come to room temperature before cooking.
- Adjust cooking time based on your preferred steak doneness level.
- Use freshly ground black pepper for the best flavor.
- Optional parsley garnish adds a subtle fresh taste and visual appeal.
- Ensure steak pieces are similar in size for even cooking.
