Ingredients
8 oz sirloin steak – cubed into bite-sized pieces

2 cloves garlic – minced for bold flavor
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp smoked paprika – adds a smoky depth!
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional) – for a slight kick!
1 tbsp fresh parsley – chopped, for garnish
Directions
- Prep the Steak Bites
Pat the steak dry with paper towels – this helps create a good sear! In a bowl, toss the steak bites with olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes - Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for 2 minutes. - Cook the Steak Bites
Place the seasoned steak bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 4 minutes, then shake the basket and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until browned and slightly crispy on the edges. - Make the Garlic Butter While the steak is cooking, mix melted butter and minced garlic in a small bowl.
- Coat & Serve
Drizzle the garlic butter over the steak bites and toss to coat. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately!

Want extra tenderness? Use ribeye or New York strip instead of sirloin! For a smoky kick, add a pinch of chipotle powder to the seasoning. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes after cooking to lock in the juices. Pair it with: air fryed asparagus or cauliflower mash for a complete low-carb meal. Need a dipping sauce? Try garlic aioli or horseradish cream.
