Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds steak tri-tip, sirloin, or ribeye, cut into 1-inch pieces
- ½ teaspoon sea salt or to your taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to your taste
For the Garlic Butter Sauce
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Prep the steak: Pat the 1.5 pounds steak pieces dry with paper towels. Season generously with ½ teaspoon sea salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper all over.
- Air fry the steak: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the steak bites in a single layer (work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding). Air fry for 3-4 minutes for medium, flipping the bites over halfway through. Adjust time based on your preferred doneness.
- Make the garlic butter: While the steak cooks, melt the 4 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced 4 cloves garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley and remove from heat.
- Add cooked steak bites to pan (off heat) and toss to cover in butter sauce. Serve immediately.
Notes
- These steak bites are delicious on their own with just salt and pepper, but the garlic butter sauce takes them to the next level!
- For best results, don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket - cook in batches if necessary so the steak gets a nice sear rather than steaming.
