For the Steak Bites
  • 1.5 lbs sirloin steak Great base protein; opt for ribeye for a richer flavor experience.

  • 0.5 teaspoon salt Essential for bringing out all the flavors; adjust to suit your taste.
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper Adds mild, warming heat; freshly ground black pepper is highly recommended.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Air Fryer Steak Bites
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
  2. Cut the sirloin steak into bite-sized cubes, drizzle with olive oil, and add garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  3. Place the seasoned steak bites into the air fryer basket in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding.
  4. Cook the steak bites for 7-8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even cooking.
  5. Let the steak bites rest for about 2 minutes after cooking, then garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
