Tips for making the best steak bites.

Tender cuts of beef work best in this recipe. Ribeye was used for my bites however, tenderloin or sirloin work too.

More helpful tips for you.

1. Before cutting and seasoning your meat, use a clean paper towel to pat the steak dry. This will help the other ingredients stick better.
2. Marinating your beef in the olive oil and seasonings will make it even more tender and flavorful. I like to place my ingredients in a zip top bag and then refrigerate it overnight for example.
3. It is best to slice the bites the same size and shape. This will help them cook evenly.
4. When placing the steak bites into your air fryer, place the bites in a single layer and leave room for the warm air to circulate while it cooks. You can make this recipe in batches if needed.
5. Take your bites up a notch by adding cajun seasoning.
6. Since cooking times can vary depending on your air fryer and how you like your steak, it is best to keep an eye on the bites. Generally, a minimum internal temperature of 145 °F is recommended by the usda.

How to make Air Fryer Steak Bites With Garlic Butter

Prep Time: 20 minutes .
Air Fry Time: 10 minutes .
Servings: 4 .

1. Place the steak bites into a large bowl.
2. In a small bowl use a whisk or a fork to combine together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Then pour this over your steak bites and toss the bites so that they are all covered with the mixture
3. Preheat your air fryer for five minutes at 400 while the steak cubes marinate in the mixture.
4. Place the steak bites into your air fryer basket in a single layer leaving space between the bites.
5. Air fry for for six to eight minutes for medium-rare, or eight to 10 minutes for medium. After three and a half minutes of air frying carefully toss or flip the bites over to help them cook through.
6. To make the butter sauce, in a small skillet on medium-low heat, melt the butter. Once the butter has fully melted you can stir in the minced garlic and cook for one minute. Turn off the heat and stir in the parsley.
7. Transfer the air fried steak bites to a bowl or plate and drizzle the butter sauce over them. Let the bites sit for a few minutes before serving so that they butter can set in.

Expert Tip 👉 Air fry times may vary depending on the size and thickness of the steak bites and your air fryer.
