Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) steak (sirloin or ribeye), cut into bite-sized pieces
Fats and Seasonings:
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon (3 grams) fresh parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)
Spices and Herbs:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
Instructions
- Craft a luscious garlic butter infusion by blending melted butter with finely minced garlic, fresh parsley, salt, black pepper, and optional Italian seasoning until thoroughly incorporated.
- Gently fold steak pieces into the aromatic butter mixture, ensuring each morsel is lavishly coated with the flavorful marinade.
- Activate the air fryer to 400°F, allowing it to preheat for approximately 5 minutes while lightly misting the basket with olive oil to prevent adhesion.
- Arrange marinated steak pieces in a single, uncrowded layer within the air fryer basket, maintaining space between each bite to facilitate even cooking.
- Execute air frying for 8-10 minutes, pausing midway to redistribute the meat, targeting 8 minutes for medium-rare and 10 minutes for medium doneness.
- Remove steak bites from the air fryer, permitting a brief 2-3 minute resting period to preserve internal juiciness and tenderness.
- Optional: Enhance presentation by sprinkling additional chopped parsley over the succulent steak bites before serving as a tantalizing appetizer or main course.
Notes
- Choose high-quality, well-marbled steak cuts like sirloin or ribeye for maximum tenderness and flavor in your air fryer steak bites.
- Pat the steak pieces completely dry before coating with garlic butter to ensure perfect browning and prevent steaming in the air fryer.
- Experiment with different seasoning blends like smoked paprika, cayenne, or herbes de Provence to customize the flavor profile of your steak bites.
- For a low-carb or keto-friendly option, replace butter with ghee and add extra herbs for enhanced taste without additional carbohydrates.
