Ingredients
1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp kosher salt
0.5 tsp black pepper
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
Remove steak from the refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking to reach room temperature.
Pat the steak cubes thoroughly dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
In a bowl, toss the steak cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
Place the steak cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Air fry for 6 to 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
While the steak cooks, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, and parsley in a small bowl.
Transfer the cooked steak to a bowl, pour the garlic butter over the bites, and toss to coat thoroughly.
Notes
Use high-quality sirloin or ribeye for the best results.
Do not crowd the air fryer basket; work in batches if necessary to ensure crispy edges.
Ensure all steak cubes are cut to a uniform 1-inch size for consistent cooking.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes.
