  • Total Time: 16 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
