Air Fryer Steak Bites

These Air Fryer Steak Bites are super easy and so delicious! Tender and juicy Ribeye make these Air Fryer Steak Bites an easy indulgence at home.

During the holidays, I am always looking for a quick and easy meal in between shopping, wrapping presents, or just hectic daily life. And while I’m all about easy cooking, I still need it to be delicious and not feel rushed. That is where this super simple Air Fryer Steak Bites recipe comes in.

I use Ribeye steak for this recipe, but you can use other cuts of steak as well, such as sirloin, or New York Strip. Feel free to experiment with your favorite cut of steak. I personally really love Ribeye, and it’s basically the only cut of steak that I enjoy.

I find that I have been obsessed with using my Power XL Air Fryer lately. I have been using it with a piece non stick copper baking mat that has been cut to size, and I also cut a few drainage holes in the mat as well.

This has helped to keep the non-stick insert plate that comes in the Power Xl Air Fryer stay in good shape.

I have also found replacement non-stick inserts for the Power XL on Amazon, which I found pretty inexpensive and a great way to extend the life of my Power XL Air Fryer.

An Air Fryer is becoming a convenient way of cooking in homes everywhere these days, and with the fast paced life that my family has these day, Air Frying has taken over a bit at my house and I am all for it!

Air Fryer Steak Bites

I find that our food is cooked healthier in the air fryer because I use a lot less oil when cooking compared to frying food regularly.

I Air Fry lots of food so easily and it actually tastes so much better this way. Steak fajitas for instance, are amazing in the Air Fryer. As is chicken wings, and Chicken Thighs, and more. I will be sharing lots of other Air Fryer recipes soon, I promise.

But for today, we are making these Steak Bites for our dinner. I use lots of seasoning on them because I personally like the flavor of well seasoned steak. My favorite mixed seasoning right now is Jocko’s Santa Maria Seasoning, but I ran out because we love it so much and when I do run out, I make my own Santa Maria style blend to season my steaks with.

Santa Maria Seasoning is basically just a mix of Salt, Pepper and Garlic Powder. Sometimes it can have Air fryer steak bites 

Air Fryer Steak Bites Ingredients:

Ribeye Steak – There are many varieties of steak to choose for air frying, such as Sirloin, New York Strip, or filets even, but the most juicy and tender, in my opinion is a good old Ribeye cut with it’s delicious flavor, and marbling.

Oil – I use vegetable oil for this recipe, because it helps the seasoning stick to the steak bites better and it keeps the bottom of the Air Fryer non-stick. You can also use Olive Oil, if you prefer.

Salt – This helps to not only season the steak for a delicious flavor, but it is used as a tenderizer as well.

Pepper – This is used to give the steak bites an extra bit of flavor and spice.

Garlic Powder– This widely used spice adds a wonderful aroma and takes these Air Fryer Steak Bites to a whole new taste!

This can be served along with delicious sides like Asparagus, Potatoes, Macaroni and cheese, Salad
