Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 1 pound steak, cut into 1″ to 1.5″ cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Cut the steak into bite-sized pieces or 1 to 1.5 inch cubes to ensure even cooking and easy handling.
- Season the Steak: In a medium mixing bowl, toss the steak cubes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and soy sauce until evenly coated to infuse flavor.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) and preheat for 5 minutes to ensure an optimal cooking environment.
- Air Fry the Steak Bites: Arrange the seasoned steak cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket to promote even cooking and air circulation. Air fry them for about 7-9 minutes depending on your desired level of doneness, shaking or stirring halfway through for even browning.
- Serve: Remove the steak bites from the air fryer and serve warm, optionally with rice and garnished with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
Notes
- Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of steak cubes and personal doneness preference; medium-rare typically requires about 7 minutes, medium closer to 9 minutes.
- For best results, use a tender cut of steak like sirloin, ribeye, or strip steak.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain juices.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
