What Do I Need To Make Steak Bites In The Air Fryer?
- Sirloin steak chunks-You can buy these pre-cut into 1 inch cubes OR you can use a sirloin and chop it yourself. I like to buy mine already chopped up from Butcher Box. If you use my link HERE you can get a free thing of meat with every box you order!
- Sea salt, black pepper & garlic powder-For flavor. All meat needs to be seasoned with salt to reach optimal flavor.
- Avocado oil-To help marinate the steak. Any kind of oil will work, my favorite is avocado.
For the optional garlic aioli:
- Avocado mayo-I use this instead of regular mayo. It is loaded with healthy fats!
- Dijon mustard-This is a must for aioli.
- Lemon juice-To taste.
- Fresh garlic-Always use fresh, the taste is so much better!
How To Make:
- First, if your steak is not already cut into 1 inch cubes, cut it into 1 inch cubes.
- Now, place your steak in a bowl with the oil and seasonings. Mix together with both hands and allow to marinate. If you do not have time to let it sit-that is ok! However, time to marinate is ideal. Now, place the mixture in the air fryer basket for 3 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 3 more minutes.
For the garlic aioli:
- Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix until smooth.
What If I Like My Air Fried Steak Bites Medium Rare?
- I suggest cooking the steak for 4 minutes total-flipping it after 2 minutes.
What If I Like My Steak Well Done?
- I suggest cooking your steak for 8 minutes total, 4 minutes on each side!
What Should I Serve With These Air Fried Steak Bites?
- I love the combination of steak and potatoes! These mini crispy garlic potatoes are to die for.
