Ingredients
For the steak bites:
- 1 pound sirloin steak cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon brown sugar or keto alternative
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
For the garlic butter:
- 1-2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 teaspoon parsley chopped
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and brown sugar. Toss the steak bites in the seasonings until well-coated.
- Let them sit and marinate for 15–20 minutes.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 °F. Place the steak in a single layer in the basket (work in batches if needed). Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, depending on preferred level of doneness.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in garlic and parsley. Transfer cooked steak bites to a plate and pour garlic butter over the top.
- Let rest for a couple minutes, then serve warm.

Notes
- Cut steak into uniform pieces for even cooking, then pat them dry before seasoning for a better sear and caramelization.
- Shake the air fryer basket or flip the bites halfway through cooking.
- Turn your steak bites into party-ready appetizers by threading them onto mini skewers with roasted peppers, cherry tomatoes, or cubes of grilled zucchini.
