Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 - 1 ½ pound New York Strip Steak or Ribeye - trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 6 cloves garlic - finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees for 5 minutes. Toss steak, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, pepper, and salt in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Arrange steak in the basket of the air fryer, if necessary, you may need to work in batches. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then flip and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes for MEDIUM RARE. Cook longer if desired.
- While the steak bites are cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 45 seconds, being careful not to burn. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the steak bites and parsley. Toss in the butter sauce for about 2 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed then serve.

Notes
- How Long To Cook Steak Bites - While each brand of air fryer cooks differently, here's a good rule of thumb for internal temperature: RARE 120 to 130, MEDIUM RARE 130 to 135, MEDIUM 135 TO 145. Test with an instant-read meat thermometer for the desired cook.
- If you don’t want to use a strip steak, I suggest using a ribeye. You can also use top sirloin steak, sirloin steak, or even a chuck roast cut into cubes.
- For Leftovers - Add any leftover garlic butter steak bites to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. One of my favorite ways to use them is in Steak Salad for a hearty lunch.
