    Air Fryer Steak Bites Before and After

    It has rained in Kentucky almost every single day for the past year, so grilling has just not been an option for me. About a month ago, I ran across a video of Gordon Ramsay making turkey burgers in an air fryer, so I decided to try a few things and see how they turned out. The first thing I tried was these Air Fryer Mini Burgers with Cheese. They turned out so amazing...perfectly charred on the outside and nice and juicy on the inside! I've also been cooking Air Fryer Grilled Chicken, Perfectly Cooked Air Fryer Steaks and Veggies on a regular basis! I am constantly amazed at what my air fryer can cook! Onto the steak bites...I bought mine from Trader Joe's, but you can find steak bites (steak cut into bite size pieces) in most grocery stores in the beef section. I couldn't believe how easy they were to make, but I documented the entire process from start to finish on my Instagram stories...you can find them HERE under the Food and Drink Tab! I love sharing easy ways to cook food on IG stories, so make sure you are following along on Instagram by following me @mom4real!

    I love these steak bites tossed in my favorite Black n' Blue Salad with some avocado and baby kale! It is absolutely to die for and low carb/keto friendly too!

    Description

    These juicy and flavor filled Air Fryer Steak Bites taste just like they've been cooked on the grill or in a cast iron skillet, and make the perfect addition to a hearty meat and potatoes meal or a delicious and healthy salad!


    Ingredients

    • Sirloin Steak Bites or a 1lb. sirloin steak cut into bite size pieces
    • Steak seasoning or salt and pepper
    • Olive oil
    • An Air Fryer - I have a Philips XL Air Fryer and also a Gourmia Air Fryer which is a little less expensive.

    Instructions

    • Start by preheating your air fryer to 390° or 400°.
    • Place the steak bites in a bowl and add about a tablespoon of steak seasoning or season with salt and pepper.
    • Pour in a tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat all of the steak bites.
    • Place the steak bites in a single layer in your air fryer basket and cook for 5 minutes.
    • Turn the steak bites over and cook for an additional 4 minutes for medium steak. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes for medium well and a couple minutes less for medium rare.
    • Remove from the air fryer and allow them to rest for 5-10 minutes so the meat will retain its juices.
    • Enjoy in a salad or with your favorite veggies for lunch or dinner!

    Notes

    Serve these steak bites in a delicious Black n' Blue Salad or with potatoes and veggies for a hearty meal!

      Try them tossed in Sesame Seeds either before or after frying for an added nutty tang. They are particularly tasty done like this with a salad. I too am a confirmed Air Fryer devotee - and I have 2 as well - a 10L and a 4L and they get used daily by and for my family.

      Thanks for the recipe.

      Could you do this with stew meat for the "browning" and then toss them in the stew to braise?

        That's a great idea! But I just cooked up the stew meat as steak bites today, and it was pretty good! No filet mingon, but perfect for when I pull the wrong meat out of the freezer!

      Yummy. Did not know what to do with the steak bites as I didn’t want to skewer them with beggies

      Trying this tonight with rice pilaf. Brand new to air fryer so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. I’m using rib eye steak.

      Used my venison stew meat. Marinated overnight in balsamic vinegar. Lightly patted before adding steak seasoning. Tender and delicious
