Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1.5 pounds (680 grams) sirloin steak, cut into bite-size pieces
Seasonings:
- 2 teaspoons montreal steak seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Finishing Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- Calibrate the air fryer to reach a high-temperature setting of 400°F, ensuring optimal cooking environment for the meat.
- Select premium beef cuts and slice into uniform, bite-sized cubes to promote even cooking and consistent texture.
- Create a robust seasoning blend by thoroughly massaging Montreal steak seasoning, garlic powder, and Italian herbs into the meat, guaranteeing comprehensive flavor penetration.
- Enhance the meat’s richness by splashing Worcestershire sauce across the seasoned cubes, allowing the liquid to permeate and tenderize the protein.
- Strategically position the seasoned meat morsels in a precise, uncrowded arrangement within the air fryer basket, preventing overcrowding and promoting ideal heat circulation.
- Initiate cooking process, allowing approximately 7-10 minutes of total preparation time, and midway through the cycle, gently agitate the basket to ensure uniform caramelization and browning.
- Once cooking completes, luxuriously coat the hot steak bites with melted butter, creating a glossy, succulent exterior.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, adding a vibrant herbal note and visual appeal to the dish.
- Serve immediately while piping hot, preserving the steak bites’ optimal temperature and textural integrity.
Notes
- Ensure steak bites are similar in size for even cooking and consistent texture throughout the batch.
- Pat meat dry before seasoning to help create a delicious crispy exterior and better spice adherence.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket, which prevents proper air circulation and leads to uneven cooking.
- For a low-carb and keto-friendly option, use high-quality grass-fed beef and skip the butter for a cleaner protein preparation.
