Air Fryer Steak Bites
  1. In a small bowl, make the compound butter here. Set aside.

  2. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C) for 5 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, cut the steak into 1.5-inch pieces if you like your steak medium-rare or less, or 1-inch pieces if you like it more done. Pat dry on all sides. In a large bowl, toss the steak bites with the olive oil, Worcestershire sauce (if using), smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  4. Arrange the steak bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer. (Do not crowd the basket; you may need to cook in batches if they don’t all fit.)

  5. Air fry steak bites, flipping halfway through, for a total of 2-4 minutes for rare, 3-5 minutes for medium rare, 4-6 minutes for medium, 5-7 minutes for medium well, or 6-8 minutes for well done. The time will vary depending on how you cut the steak pieces, so for best results, check the internal temperature using a meat thermometer: 120 degrees F (49 degrees C) for rare, 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium rare, 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium, 150 degrees F (66 degrees C) for medium well, or 160 degrees F (71 degrees C) for well done.

  6. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat on the stovetop, melt the compound butter. Cook for about 1 minute, until the garlic is fragrant, then remove from heat. (Alternatively, you can just melt it in the microwave, but the flavor is better on the stove.)

  7. When the steak bites are done, transfer them to a bowl. Add the garlic butter and stir to let it melt. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
