Garlic Butter Air Fryer Steak Bites
Air Fryer Steak Bites are a delightful twist on a favorite classic, allowing you to indulge in tender morsels of beef that are bursting with flavor. I love how they turn out with an appetizing caramelized crust, yet with a juicy and tender interior, and made in under 10 minutes in the air fryer.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ribeye Steak cut into bite-sized pieces. I used Ribeye. Sirloin or NY strip will work great too.
- 2 Tablespoons Olive oil or avocado oil
- 1/2 tsp salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Garlic Butter
- 3 Tablespoons Unsalted butter melted
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400F/200C for 3 minutes.Trim the excess fat off the steak and cut it into bite-size pieces. Approximately 1-inch cubes.In a large bowl, add steak cubes, oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder and mix everything until they're well coated.
- Place the steak bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overcrowd them. Give them some space.
- Airfry mode 400F/200C. Cook for 7-8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even browning.
- While the steak bites are cooking, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Combine: Once the steak bites are done, toss them in the garlic butter sauce until they are well coated.Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately
Notes
Serve your steak bites with a side of mashed potatoes, Air fryer Roasted Vegetables, or a Crisp Cucumber Tomato Avocado salad for a complete meal that is sure to impress even the pickiest eaters. Or you can serve the bites as an appetizer at a party with Chipotle mayo dipping sauce or Homemade Blue Cheese dip.
Pro Tips for Best Steak Bites
- To ensure even cooking, cut the steak into equal sizes
- Marinate for extra flavor: While not necessary, marinating your steak bites for a few hours before cooking can infuse them with additional flavors. A simple marinade of soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and a touch of honey works wonders.
- Do not overcrowd the basket and give each piece of steak some space so the hot air can fully circulate.
- Rest the meat: Once your steak bites are cooked, allow them to rest for a few minutes before tossing them in the garlic butter. Resting helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring each bite is tender and flavorful.
