Description
Juicy, tender steak bites air-fried to perfection, finished with a rich garlic butter and herb sauce. Perfect for quick dinners or weekend feasts.
Ingredients
- Ribeye Steak: 1.5 pounds, cut into bite-sized cubes – offers a perfect balance of marbling and tenderness
- Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons – helps the seasoning adhere and adds moisture
- Salt: 1 teaspoon – enhances natural beef flavor
- Black Pepper: 1/2 teaspoon – adds mild heat and earthiness
- Garlic Powder: 1/2 teaspoon – infuses a deeper garlic undertone
- Unsalted Butter: 3 tablespoons – melts into a luscious sauce coating each piece
- Garlic Cloves: 3, minced – provides a punchy, aromatic flavor
- Fresh Parsley: 2 tablespoons, finely chopped – brightens the dish with color and freshness
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F for about 5 minutes.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, toss steak cubes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil or line with perforated parchment paper.
- Assemble the Dish: Place steak bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping.
- Cook to Perfection: Air fry for 8–10 minutes, shaking halfway through, until nicely browned and internal temp reaches 135°F for medium-rare.
- Finishing Touches: In a small pan, melt butter over medium heat, add minced garlic, cook until fragrant. Stir in parsley.
- Serve and Enjoy: Toss steak bites in garlic butter sauce and serve hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
Notes
- Use sirloin or NY strip if ribeye isn’t available.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer for best results.
- Let the steak rest 5 minutes before tossing in the butter sauce to lock in juices.
