Air Fryer Steak Bites

Ingredients

• 1 pound sirloin steak, evenly cut into 1-inch cubes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. 1

   In a bowl, combine steak, olive oil, paprika, italian seasoning, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes to let the flavors come together (if you're running out of time, even 5 minutes of seasoning works!) Tip: You can season up to 2 days in advance.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, preheat the air fryer at 400 degrees for about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Arrange steak bites on the air fryer basket, in one single layer, without overcrowding (cook in batches as needed). Air fry at 400 degrees until desired doneness: 6 for medium-rare, 8 minutes for medium, and 10 minutes for well-done. Note: There’s no need to spray the beef with cooking oil prior to cooking.

4. 4

   Make the garlic butter: Combine all the garlic butter ingredients listed above and mix. Set aside.

5. 5

   Serve the steak bites with the prepared garlic butter as a dipping sauce. Enjoy!
