Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the Air Fryer to 400 degrees F / 200 degrees C.
  • Melt butter in a medium bowl and then combine with garlic, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, onion powder, and salt.
  • Toss the raw steak pieces into the seasoned butter until well coated.
  • Place the steak bites into the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  • Cook for 8-11 minutes, turning over halfway through. Actual cooking time will depend on the preferred degree of doneness of your meat.

Notes

  • Choose well marbled steak for the juiciest and most tender steak bites in air fryer. 
  • Bring the meat to room temperature for 30 minutes for even cooking. 
  • Cut the meat into as similar sized pieces as possible. 
  • Preheat the air fryer to get the best sear on the steak. 
  • Cook steak bites in air fryer in a single layer. Cook in batches if necessary. 
  • If the butter sauce cools down too much before you mix with the steak, just melt briefly in the microwave for a few seconds. 
  • Flip the steak after you air fry for 3 minutes. 
  • Begin checking for doneness around the 6 minute mark, especially if you prefer your steak more rare. 
  • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before serving.
  • Storage - keep leftovers in an airtight container inside the fridge for 3 days.
  • There are 9 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
