Air Fryer Garlic Butter Steak Bites

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Steak

Begin by cutting the sirloin steak into bite-sized cubes, ensuring they are uniform in size for even cooking. Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve a nice sear.

2. Season the Steak

In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a flavorful marinade. Add the steak cubes to the bowl, tossing them gently to coat each piece evenly with the garlic butter mixture. Allow the steak to marinate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

3. Preheat the Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for approximately 3-5 minutes. Preheating ensures that the steak bites cook evenly and develop a beautiful sear.

4. Air Fry the Steak Bites

Once the air fryer is preheated, arrange the marinated steak cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook the steak bites in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding, which can result in uneven cooking.
