Air Fryer Garlic Butter Steak Bites Recipe
Quick and flavorful steak bites cooked in the air fryer, coated in garlic butter and perfect for a quick dinner or appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1 pound steak ((sirloin, ribeye, or tenderloin), cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped (optional, for garnish))
- 1 lemon (cut into wedges (optional, for serving))
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the steak cubes, olive oil, smoked paprika, onion powder, ground black pepper, and salt. Toss well to coat the steak evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the minced garlic. Set aside.
- Arrange the seasoned steak bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking. Work in batches if necessary.
- Air fry the steak bites for 6-8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking, until they are golden brown and cooked to your preferred doneness.
- Once cooked, transfer the steak bites to a large bowl. Pour the garlic butter over the steak bites and toss well to coat.
- Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh burst of flavor.
Notes
For best results, use a meat thermometer to check the doneness of the steak bites. Adjust cooking time based on the size of the steak cubes.
