I love how easy these garlic butter steak bites are. The air fryer gives them a nice sear without me hauling out the grill, and they only take 6 simple ingredients.

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer 400°F.
Cut steak into 1½-inch cubes then pat them dry using a paper towel.
Whisk together oil, melted butter, garlic, salt, and pepper then add steak to bowl and toss together with sauce until coated.
Place the steak cubes in the air fryer and air fry for 7-8 minutes for medium-rare and up to 12 minutes for medium-well (use the chart below for exact timing for each doneness level). Flip them halfway through the cooking time.
Remove them from the air fryer and let rest for at least 3 minutes, then enjoy!
