Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound steak sirloin, filet mignon, or ribeye, cut into bite-sized pieces.

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Steak: Cut the steak into bite-sized cubes and place them in a bowl. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. Pour the marinade over the steak bites and let them marinate for 20–30 minutes.

  • Preheat Air Fryer or Oven: If using an air fryer, preheat it to 400°F (200°C). If using an oven, preheat to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
  • Cook the Steak Bites:
    Air Fryer: Arrange the bacon-wrapped steak bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and the steak is cooked to your preferred doneness.
    Oven: Place the steak bites on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway, until bacon is crispy.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Remove the toothpicks and serve warm. These steak bites pair perfectly with a Creamy Chipotle Dipping Sauce or garlic butter.

Notes

Tips

1. Choose a tender cut of beef, like filet mignon, ribeye, New York strip, skirt steak, porterhouse or T-bone.
2. Do not overcrowd your air fryer basket. Make sure that there's room around each steak bite to cook in the air fryer.
3. Store steak bites in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Use within 3-4 days or freeze to reheat for later.
4. Keep in mind that bacon shrinks during cooking.
5. If you are concerned about overcooking the steak, pre-cook bacon separately for 4-5 minutes, just before it hardens and gets crispy.
6. Use regular cut bacon or a thin cut. If using a thick cut of bacon, pre-cook bacon for 5 minutes, then wrap each steak piece.
