How to Make Air Fryer Steak Bites
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes to ensure it’s hot and ready for cooking.
- Season the Steak: In a large bowl, combine the cubed sirloin steak with olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss to evenly coat the steak with the seasonings.
- Cook the Steak Bites: Place the seasoned steak cubes in a single layer in the preheated air fryer basket. Cook for 6 minutes, then flip the steak cubes over and continue cooking for an additional 2-5 minutes until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- Prepare the Garlic Herb Butter: While the steak bites are cooking, mix together melted butter, minced garlic, and fresh chopped parsley in a small bowl.
- Coat the Steak Bites: Once the steak bites are cooked to perfection, transfer them to a serving bowl and toss them in the melted butter mixture until evenly coated. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve: Garnish the steak bites with an extra sprinkle of fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
