Ingredients
For the Steak Bites:
- 1.5 lbs top sirloin steak cut into 1½-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
- 3 cloves garlic freshly minced
- 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp dried basil
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes optional
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
For the Lemon Garlic Butter:
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 2 cloves garlic freshly minced
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Notes
- Give the steak a couple of minutes to rest before serving. It sounds like a small thing, but it makes a real difference — the juices settle back into the meat instead of running out the moment you cut in.
- Keep your cuts consistent. Uneven pieces mean some will be overcooked by the time the bigger ones finish. Take a little extra time with the knife and it pays off.
- Every air fryer runs a little differently. If yours tends to run hot, start checking around the five-minute mark. Going from medium to medium-well can happen faster than you’d expect.
