Ingredients You’ll Need

(Serves 4)

1 lb ribeye steak (or sirloin for a leaner option)
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp avocado oil
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp melted butter
Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Prepare the Steak
- Cut your ribeye (or steak of choice) into bite-sized chunks (about 1-inch pieces).
- In a large bowl, season the steak with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Marinate the Steak
- Drizzle avocado oil and Worcestershire sauce over the seasoned steak bites.
- Toss the pieces to ensure they’re evenly coated.
Air Fry the Steak Bites
- Arrange the steak bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure not to overcrowd them—cook in batches if necessary.
- Air fry at 400°F for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through. This time is ideal for medium-rare steak. Adjust for your preferred doneness (see tips below).
Finish with Butter
- Remove the steak bites and allow them to rest for 2-3 minutes.
- Toss them with melted butter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Tips for the Perfect Steak Bites

Adjust Cook Time for Doneness:
- Rare: 5-6 minutes
- Medium-Rare: 6-8 minutes
- Medium: 8-10 minutes
- Well-Done: 10-12 minutes
High-Quality Steak: Ribeye offers the best tenderness and flavor, but you can also use sirloin for a leaner option.
Air Fryer Size: If your air fryer is smaller, cook in batches to prevent overcrowding, which ensures even cooking.

Serving Suggestions

Appetizer: Serve with toothpicks and dipping sauces like garlic aioli or horseradish cream.
Main Course: Pair with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh Caesar salad for a full meal.
Steak Salad: Add these juicy bites on top of a hearty salad for a quick lunch.

How to Store & Reheat

Storage: Keep leftover steak bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheating: Pop them back in the air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes or until heated through.
