Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Steak

2. In a large bowl combine:
3. Olive oil
4. Melted butter
5. Garlic
6. Salt
7. Black pepper
8. Paprika
9. Onion powder
10. Garlic powder

Step 3: Preheat the Air Fryer

1. Time: 3 minutes Intensity: Easy
2. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F) .
3. A hot air fryer helps achieve crispy edges and juicy centers.

Step 4: Air Fry the Steak Bites

1. Time: 8–10 minutes Intensity: Medium
2. Place steak bites in a single layer inside the air fryer basket.
3. Do not overcrowd the basket because proper airflow helps caramelize the meat.
4. Cook for:
5. 8 minutes for medium-rare
6. 9 minutes for medium
7. 10 minutes for medium-well
8. Shake the basket halfway through cooking.

Step 5: Rest the Steak
