Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb sirloin steak or your preferred cut, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prep the Steak:
Cut the steak into bite-sized cubes, ensuring they are of uniform size for even cooking. Pat the steak pieces dry with a paper towel to help achieve a crispy exterior. - Season the Steak:
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss the steak cubes in the seasoning mixture until they are evenly coated. - Preheat the Air Fryer:
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes. - Cook the Steak Bites:
Place the seasoned steak bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Ensure there’s some space between each piece for optimal air circulation. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 6-8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time. For medium-rare, aim for 6 minutes, or cook longer for your preferred doneness. - Serve:
Once cooked to your desired level of doneness, remove the steak bites from the air fryer. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
- If you prefer a different steak cut, feel free to use ribeye, flank steak, or even filet mignon.
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
- These steak bites can be served as a main dish with a side salad, or as an appetizer with dipping sauces like garlic butter or ranch.
