Ingredients
Scale
Seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp chili powder
- ¼ tsp oregano
- ¼ tsp pepper
Main Ingredient
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1½ lbs steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F to ensure even cooking and a nicely seared exterior on the steak bites.
- Mix Seasoning: In a small dish, combine salt, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, oregano, and pepper to create a fragrant and balanced spice blend.
- Coat Steak Cubes: Toss the steak cubes with the seasoning mixture and drizzle with olive oil. Mix thoroughly to coat all pieces evenly for maximum flavor and a good sear.
- Arrange in Air Fryer Basket: Place the seasoned steak cubes in a single, even layer inside the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow hot air circulation. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Air Fry Steak Bites: Cook the steak bites for 4-5 minutes at 400°F for medium doneness. Adjust time slightly for preferred doneness (less for rare, more for well done), turning halfway if desired.
- Serve: Remove steak bites from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite steak sauce or dipping sauce for a delicious appetizer or snack.
Notes
- For rare steak bites, reduce air frying time to about 3 minutes.
- For well-done bites, increase cooking time to 6-7 minutes, checking frequently to avoid overcooking.
- Allow the steak to rest a few minutes after cooking for juicier bites.
- The seasoning blend can be adjusted to taste, adding more chili powder for heat or more brown sugar for a sweeter glaze.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and browning.
