Why This Recipe is Perfect for Beginners

If you’ve never cooked steak before, this recipe is perfect for you! It’s simple, forgiving, and only requires one crucial step: don’t overcook the steak. Follow these instructions, and you’ll have perfectly cooked steak bites every time.

How to Make Air Fryer Steak Bites

1. Prepare the Steak: Cut your steak into 1.5-inch cubes, trimming excess fat but keeping some for flavor. Ribeye or New York Strip works best for this recipe, but Filet Mignon is a luxurious option if you’re willing to spend a bit more.

2. Mix the Marinade: In a medium or large bowl, combine 1/3 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1/4 cup honey. Add 1 teaspoon grated ginger and 5 cloves grated garlic. Mix well to combine.

3. Marinate the Steak: Add the steak cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 5 hours. Avoid marinating for too long, as it might break down the meat.

4. Cook the Steak Bites: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the steak bites in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook for 6-7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the steak pieces and your desired level of doneness.

5. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, plate your steak bites over a bed of jasmine rice, and garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Steak Bites

• Do Not Overcrowd: Place steak pieces in a single layer with some space in between for even cooking and crispiness.
• Adjust Cook Time: Check the steak after 6 minutes and adjust based on your preference for doneness.
