# What You’ll Need:
→ Steak
01 -
1½ pounds boneless ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
→ Seasoning
02 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
03 -
½ teaspoon kosher salt
04 -
½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
05 -
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
→ Garlic Butter Sauce
06 -
3 tablespoons salted butter
07 -
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
08 -
1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes
02 -
In a large bowl, combine steak pieces with olive oil, kosher salt, cracked black pepper, and smoked paprika; toss thoroughly to coat
03 -
Arrange the seasoned steak bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket without spraying; air fry for 4 to 6 minutes to desired doneness without flipping
04 -
While the steak cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds; stir in chopped parsley
05 -
Transfer cooked steak bites to the skillet with garlic butter sauce and toss to coat evenly for about one minute; serve immediately
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Use a meat thermometer to achieve preferred doneness: medium at 135°F inside the air fryer, with final temperature rising to 140-150°F in butter sauce
02 -
Steak bites continue cooking once removed from air fryer; remove earlier to avoid overcooking
03 -
Alternative steak cuts such as top sirloin, flank, filet, tri-tip, NY strip, or flat iron may be used
04 -
For reheating, use microwave or skillet; avoid air fryer reheating due to high butter content
