Steps

  1. 1

    Cut steak into 1-inch cubes and pat dry. Toss with olive oil and all seasonings.

  2. 2

    Arrange in a single layer in the basket — don't overcrowd. Air fry at 400°F for 4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Shake the basket and cook 3-4 more minutes for medium-rare (130°F) or 5-6 more for medium (140°F).

  4. 4

    Melt butter with garlic, parsley, and thyme. Toss hot steak bites in the garlic herb butter.

  5. 5

    Serve immediately — steak bites are best piping hot.

💡

Tip: Cut all pieces the same size for even cooking. Don't crowd the basket or the steak steams instead of searing. Sirloin is the best value; ribeye gives the most flavor.

Why Air Fry This?

  • ⏱️Ready in 10 minutes vs ~18 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
  • 🍖Circulating hot air renders fat and seals in juices for a crispier outside and tender inside.
  • ⚡Uses significantly less energy than heating a full-size oven for a single batch.
