Air Fryer Garlic Butter Steak Bites
Ingredients:
- 16 oz sirloin steak
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp brown sugar
For the Garlic Butter:
- 1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp salted butter
- 1 tsp chopped parsley
Instructions:
- Start by preparing your steak. Cut the sirloin steak into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are all similar in size. This allows for even cooking.
- In a bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and brown sugar. Mix these ingredients well to create a marinade.
- Toss the steak pieces in the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them sit in the marinade for about 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- While the steak is marinating, preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200°C).
- Once the air fryer is preheated, arrange the marinated steak pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Be careful not to overcrowd to ensure proper circulation of air.
- Cook the steak in the air fryer at 400°F for 4-6 minutes, depending on your preferred level of doneness.
- While the steak is cooking in the air fryer, prepare the garlic butter. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the salted butter in the microwave.
- Once the butter is melted, stir in the minced garlic and chopped parsley.
- Once the steak is done in the air fryer, transfer it to a serving plate.
- Pour the garlic butter sauce over the steak bites, ensuring they are evenly coated with the flavorful sauce.
- Allow the steak to rest for a couple of minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
- Serve your air-fried garlic butter steak bites hot and enjoy!
