1 lb ribeye, sirloin or New York strip steak
1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
½ tsp. sea salt
½ tsp. black pepper, freshly cracked
¼ tsp. dry rosemary (optional)
1 Tbsp. Worchesher sauce (optional)
1 Tbsp. fresh parsley, finely chopped

Garlic Butter:
3 Tbsp. salted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp. fresh parsley, finely chopped

Trim the excess fat off the steak and cut it into bite-size pieces. Approximately 1" cubes.

In a large bowl, add steak cubes, oil, salt, pepper, rosemary and Worchester sauce. Coat evenly. Let sit for 30 minutes.

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes.

Add steak cubes to the air fryer basket or tray

Do not overcrowd them. Give them some space.

Air-fry mode 400°F (200°C) 3 minutes.

Open air fryer, flip each piece on the other side and fry for an additional 3 minutes or until the desired doneness. Usually, 6 minutes is good enough for medium doneness. The sides are nicely caramelized and crispy.

While the steak bites are cooking, heat butter until melted. Add chopped garlic. Add cooked steak bites. Toss until well combined. Add parsley if desired and serve.

Cook's Notes:

• To ensure even cooking, cut the steak into equal sizes
• Preheat air fryer for a few minutes before adding the steak. This helps to form a nice crispy crust and appetizing caramelized edges.
• Do not overcrowd the basket. Please give each piece of steak some space so the hot air can fully circulate.
• Allow your steak to rest for 5 minutes before cutting into it.
