Garlic Butter Steak Bites (Printer-Friendly)
Juicy steak bites tossed in garlic butter, cooked quickly in the air fryer for a perfect dinner.
# What You'll Need:
→ Beef
01 -
1 ½ pounds boneless ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
→ Seasoning
02 -
½ teaspoon kosher salt
03 -
½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
04 -
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
→ Oils and Fats
05 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
06 -
3 tablespoons salted butter
→ Aromatics
07 -
3 cloves garlic, minced
08 -
1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Preheat air fryer to 400°F (204°C) for 5 minutes.
02 -
In a large bowl, combine steak pieces with olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika; toss until evenly coated.
03 -
Arrange steak bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket without spraying. Air fry for 4-6 minutes until desired doneness is reached; no need to flip. Internal temperature should be approximately 135°F (57°C) for medium, as steak will continue cooking in butter sauce.
04 -
While steak cooks, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in chopped parsley.
05 -
Transfer cooked steak bites into the skillet with garlic butter sauce. Toss together for about 1 minute to combine flavors.
06 -
Immediately serve the steak bites warm.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For accurate doneness, use a meat thermometer. Steak continues to cook slightly in the butter sauce after air frying.
02 -
Alternative steak cuts suitable for this method include top sirloin, flank, filet, tri-tip, NY strip, or flat iron.
03 -
To reheat, use microwave or skillet; avoid air fryer reheating due to butter content.
04 -
Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
