Air Fryer Juicy Steak Bites

by

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the steak bites cook evenly and get a nice sear on the outside.

Step 2: Prepare the Steak Bites

  1. Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps to get a better sear.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the steak bites with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. If using, add the Worcestershire sauce as well. Toss until the steak cubes are evenly coated with the seasoning.

Step 3: Air Fry the Steak Bites

  1. Arrange the seasoned steak bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they cook evenly and get crispy.
  2. Cook for about 7-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer model and how well-done you like your steak.

Step 4: Check for Doneness

  1. Use a meat thermometer to check if the steak bites have reached your desired level of doneness: 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium, or 155°F (68°C) for well-done.

Step 5: Serve

  1. Once cooked to your liking, transfer the steak bites to a serving plate.
  2. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
  3. Serve immediately while hot as an appetizer or alongside your favorite sides for a main course.

Serving Suggestions:

  • As an Appetizer: Serve the steak bites with toothpicks and a side of dipping sauces, such as horseradish cream, BBQ sauce, or a garlic aioli.
  • As a Main Course: Pair with sides like roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or garlic mashed potatoes for a complete meal.

Tips:

  • Letting the steak sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before cooking can help it cook more evenly.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the steak cubes for an hour or overnight in the refrigerator before cooking.
  • Adjust cooking times based on the size of your steak bites and the desired level of doneness.

Enjoy your air fryer steak bites with the satisfaction of a quick, delicious, and perfectly cooked meal that’s sure to impress!
