Tender and Juicy Garlic Butter Steak Bites

Sure, here’s a simple recipe for Steak Bites with Garlic Butter along with some notes:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

Preheat the Air Fryer:
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

Prepare the Steak:
In a large bowl, toss the steak bites with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme until the steak is well coated.

Cook in the Air Fryer:
Place the seasoned steak bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not crowded. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the desired level of doneness is reached. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the steak bites and the model of your air fryer.

Prepare the Garlic Butter:
While the steak bites are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Combine and Serve:
Once the steak bites are cooked, transfer them to a serving dish. Pour the garlic butter over the steak bites and toss gently to coat.

Garnish and Serve:
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. You can also squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice over the top for a burst of citrus flavor.

Notes:

Marinating Time: If you have time, you can marinate the steak bites in the seasonings for 30 minutes to an hour before cooking for enhanced flavor.

Air Fryer Variations: Cooking times may vary depending on the brand and model of your air fryer, so keep an eye on the steak bites to prevent overcooking.

Doneness: Adjust the cooking time to achieve your preferred level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C), medium around 140°F (60°C), and well-done around 160°F (71°C).
