Equipment

  • 1 air fryer
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 knife
  • 1 tongs

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
  • Add the cubed sirloin steak to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Let it sit for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  • Place the marinated steak bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd them for even cooking.
  • Cook the steak bites in the air fryer for 6-8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even browning. Cook until they reach your desired level of doneness (135°F for medium-rare).
  • Remove the steak bites from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For different flavor profiles, feel free to experiment with other spices like cayenne pepper or steak seasoning.
Serve these steak bites with dipping sauces, such as garlic aioli or a spicy BBQ sauce, for added flavor.
Adjust the cooking time if you prefer your steak bites to be more or less done.
