Air Fryer Steak Bites are a quick and easy meal that is sure to satisfy your cravings for a juicy and savory steak. Made with bite-sized pieces of beef, this recipe is perfect for those who want a meaty and protein-packed snack or a satisfying dinner. The air fryer is the perfect tool for cooking steak bites, as it sears the outside to a perfect crisp while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
To make Air Fryer Steak Bites, start by selecting a good cut of beef, such as sirloin or ribeye. Cut the steak into bite-sized pieces, then season generously with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, then place the steak bites in a single layer in the basket. Cook for 7-10 minutes, flipping the bites halfway through, until they reach your desired level of doneness. For a medium-rare steak, aim for an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit.
Serve your Air Fryer Steak Bites as a main course with a side of vegetables, or as an appetizer with a dipping sauce such as horseradish or garlic aioli. This recipe is customizable and versatile, so feel free to experiment with different seasonings or even different cuts of beef to find your perfect flavor. With the help of your air fryer, you can have a delicious and satisfying steak dinner in no time!
