  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • Method: Stovetop
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the steak. Pat the steak cubes thoroughly dry with paper towels. In a medium bowl, toss the steak with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Air fry the steak. Arrange the seasoned steak bites in a single layer in your air fryer basket, ensuring not to overcrowd it (cook in batches if necessary). Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 4-6 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Flip and continue cooking. Shake the basket or flip the steak bites, then continue to air fry for another 4-6 minutes, or until desired doneness is reached (total 8-12 minutes for medium-rare to medium).
  4. Step 4: Prepare the garlic butter. While the steak is cooking, melt the unsalted butter in a small microwave-safe bowl or saucepan. Add the minced garlic and stir to combine.
  5. Step 5: Combine and serve. Transfer the hot steak bites to a clean bowl, pour the melted garlic butter over them, and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Store any leftover steak bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days, though they are truly best enjoyed fresh.
  • To bring back some of their original glory, gently reheat leftover steak bites in your air fryer at 300°F (150°C) for just 2-3 minutes, or until warmed through, to avoid overcooking and drying them out.
  • For a satisfying meal, serve these flavorful steak bites with a simple green salad and a side of crispy roasted potatoes, or enjoy them straight from the bowl as a protein-packed snack.
  • For the absolute best texture and a lovely sear, don't skip patting your steak cubes thoroughly dry before seasoning – this ensures they crisp up beautifully in the air fryer instead of steaming.
