Main Ingredients

1 pound steak (your preferred cut, cubed into bite-sized pieces) Choice of steak cut impacts flavor.
2 tablespoons olive oil Used for seasoning.
4 cloves garlic (minced) Adds aromatic flavor.
1 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor.
1/2 teaspoon black pepper Adjust to taste.
Fresh herbs (optional, such as rosemary or thyme for garnish) Optional but recommended for added flavor.

Preparation

Start by cutting your chosen steak into bite-sized cubes to allow for even cooking.

Seasoning

In a large bowl, combine the cubed steak with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss well until each piece is evenly coated.
If you’re feeling adventurous, add a sprinkle of fresh herbs to enhance the flavor.

Cooking

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the steak cubes in a single layer in the fryer basket. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
Use a meat thermometer to check doneness; for medium-rare, it should reach 135°F (57°C). Adjust cooking time based on your preference.

Serving

Carefully remove the steak bites from the air fryer and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with any additional fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes to maintain crunch.
