Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 1 ½ lbs. sirloin steak (or your favorite cut of steak), cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 Tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 4 Tablespoons salted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1 Tablespoon freshly chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Steak: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Cut the steak into 1-inch pieces. Place the steak bites in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Air Fry Steak Bites: Arrange the steak bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 4 to 6 minutes until cooked to your desired doneness. Flipping is not required during cooking.
- Make Garlic Butter Sauce: While the steak cooks, melt the salted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and paprika.
- Toss Steak in Sauce: Add the cooked steak bites to the skillet and stir into the garlic butter sauce for about one minute to coat the meat thoroughly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Choose a tender cut like sirloin, ribeye, or filet mignon for best results.
- Adjust air frying time based on your preferred steak doneness and air fryer model.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
- For a spicier flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the garlic butter sauce.
- Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
