Description

This Air Fryer Garlic Butter Steak Bites recipe offers a quick, flavorful way to enjoy tender sirloin steak pieces coated in a savory garlic butter sauce. Perfect for a fast weeknight dinner, these steak bites are marinated to absorb rich flavors, then air fried to juicy perfection and finished with a fragrant garlic parsley butter.

Ingredients

Steak and Marinade

  • 16 oz sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp brown sugar

Garlic Butter Sauce

  • 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp salted butter
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare the steak: Cut the sirloin steak into bite-sized pieces ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
  2. Make the marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and brown sugar until well mixed.
  3. Marinate the steak: Toss the steak pieces in the marinade so that they are evenly coated. Let them sit for 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  4. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat before cooking.
  5. Arrange the steak in the air fryer: Place the marinated steak pieces in a single layer in the basket, avoiding overcrowding for proper air circulation.
  6. Cook the steak: Air fry the steak bites for 4-6 minutes, adjusting time depending on desired doneness.
  7. Prepare garlic butter sauce: While the steak cooks, melt the salted butter in a microwave-safe bowl, then stir in minced garlic and chopped parsley.
  8. Transfer and coat: Once the steak is cooked, move it to a serving plate and pour the garlic butter sauce over the steak bites, coating them evenly.
  9. Rest the steak bites: Let the steak rest for a couple of minutes to allow flavors to meld together.
  10. Serve: Serve the garlic butter steak bites hot and enjoy immediately for best flavor.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
  • Adjust cooking time based on preferred steak doneness.
  • Use fresh garlic and parsley for optimal flavor in the garlic butter sauce.
  • Letting the steak bites rest briefly after cooking enhances juiciness and flavor melding.
  • Sirloin steak can be substituted with other tender cuts for similar results.
