Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients
 

  • 1 pound steak (sirloin, ribeye, NY strip or your favorite cut)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp red chili flakes
  • chopped parsley

Instructions
 

  • Cut the steak into bite sized pieces, about 1 to 1.5 inch cubes.
  • In a mixing bowl, toss the steak with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder and soy sauce.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes. Arrange the steak in a single layer in the basket.
  • Air fry to your desired doneness, using the temperature and time guide below. Shake the basket halfway through.
    Medium-Rare - 135°F: about 4 to 6 minutes
    Medium - 145°F: about 6 to 8 minutes
    Well-Done - 160°F: about 10 to 12 minutes
    Start checking at the low end of the range and use a meat thermometer to nail your exact doneness, since cube size and air fryer model will shift the timing a bit.
  • While the steak cooks, melt the butter in a pan. Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes and saute until the garlic turns golden.
  • Toss the cooked steak through the garlic butter until well coated. Serve warm with chopped parsley.

Notes

  • Storage: store cooked steak bites in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
  • Freeze: freeze uncooked steak bites in their marinade for up to 3 months. Cook straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes in the air fryer.
  • Meal prep or make ahead: undercook the bites slightly so they finish perfectly when reheated.
