Air Fryer Steak Bites
August 16, 2021
Cooking steak in an air-fryer? Absolutely possible and totally delicious. Cut into small pieces for a quick and easy main dish or appetizer, these steak bites have the added benefit of getting brown and crispy all around while the center stays moist and juicy. Plus, this kid-friendly version of the typical steak dinner can be on the table in less than 20 minutes, making it the perfect quick protein to make on a weeknight after a long day of work.
Our simple cut-and-cook recipe has just four ingredients: avocado oil, sirloin steak, salt, and pepper. Dip and dunk these savory bites in Primal Kitchen Classic BBQ Sauce or our tangy Steak Sauce for a keto-friendly, kid-approved dish that feeds your inner carnivore. If you're craving more of a full meal, pair your air fryer steak bites with a savory, salty side like garlic mashed potatoes, sautéed mushrooms, or this delicious Ranch Cauliflower Mash.
