Quick and easy air fryer steak bites coated in garlic and parmesan, served with a creamy herb butter dipping sauce. Perfect for a flavorful snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (preferably Parmigiano-Reggiano)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (dried basil, oregano, thyme blend)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.
  2. Add olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the steak. Toss thoroughly to coat evenly.
  3. Sprinkle grated Parmesan over the steak and toss gently again so the cheese sticks without clumping.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  5. Arrange the steak cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding. Cook in batches if necessary.
  6. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through at 4 minutes to ensure even browning.
  7. While the steak cooks, mix softened butter with chopped parsley, thyme, and lemon juice until smooth. Microwave briefly if butter is too firm.
  8. Transfer the cooked steak bites to a serving plate and serve immediately with the herb butter dipping sauce.

Notes

Patting the steak dry before seasoning is key to crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking. Shake the basket halfway through cooking. Use fresh garlic for best flavor. Keep the herb butter for dipping only to avoid burning. For dairy-free, substitute parmesan with nutritional yeast and butter with vegan butter or olive oil.
