Ingredients
- 1½ pounds boneless ribeye steaks, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
3 tablespoons salted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and preheat for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, toss the steak pieces with olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
- Place the seasoned steak bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 4–6 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- While the steak is cooking, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Once the steak bites are cooked to your desired doneness, transfer them to the skillet with the garlic butter. Toss to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes to the garlic butter.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the steak bites before serving for extra flavor.
- Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary can be incorporated for added aroma.
- Add lemon zest to the garlic butter for a citrusy twist.
