Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 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
  • 4 Tablespoons butter melted

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes.
  • In the meantime, stir the steak pieces, olive oil, 1 teaspoon of the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.
  • Add the steak bites to the air fryer basket and spread out evenly. Air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 minutes. Toss the steak bites around, then fry again for 3 more minutes or until they reach your preferred doneness.
  • Stir the melted butter and remaining ½ teaspoon of garlic powder together in a small bowl. Drizzle it on the steak bites before serving with freshly chopped parsley for garnish, if desired.

Notes

  • Look for steaks with marbling. Nice marbling will lend to a deliciously juicy steak. 
  • Cut your steak into even size bites. To ensure balanced cooking in the air fryer, cut your steak bites into even pieces, about 1 inch each.
  • Cook your air fryer steak bites in batches. For best results, don't crowd your air fryer. If you're cooking more than one or two steaks, be sure to cook in batches so that the steak bites cook evenly.
  • How to store leftovers: These steak bites can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.
