This Air Fryer Steak Bites recipe delivers perfectly tender and juicy steak cubes seasoned with garlic, paprika, and soy sauce, cooked quickly in the air fryer for a delicious, easy-to-make appetizer or main dish.

Ingredients

Steak Bites

  • 1 pound steak (sirloin, New York strip, ribeye, chopped into cubes)
  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 tsp liquid aminos or soy sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp sea salt (to taste)
  • ¼ tsp black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) for 4 minutes to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for cooking steak bites evenly.
  2. Season Steak Bites: In a mixing bowl, combine the cubed steak with avocado oil, liquid aminos (or soy sauce), garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir well until all pieces are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.
  3. Arrange Steak in Air Fryer: Transfer the seasoned steak cubes to the air fryer basket in a single layer to promote even cooking and browning.
  4. Cook the Steak Bites: Air fry the steak bites for 10 to 20 minutes depending on your preferred doneness. Shake the air fryer basket twice during cooking to ensure all sides cook evenly. For perfectly tender and juicy results, cook for about 12 to 15 minutes.

Notes

  • Choose a tender cut like sirloin, New York strip, or ribeye for best results.
  • Adjust seasonings to your taste preferences, especially salt and pepper.
  • Shaking the air fryer basket during cooking helps the steak bites brown evenly and prevents sticking.
  • Cooking time can vary based on air fryer model and steak bite size.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
