Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ pounds sirloin filets, cut into 1½-inch-sized cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons garlic, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (plus more for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer Begin by preheating your air fryer to 400°F for at least 5 minutes. This ensures that the fryer reaches the optimal temperature for cooking the steak cubes.
- Prepare the Steak In a large bowl, combine the cubed sirloin steak, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Thoroughly toss the ingredients to ensure each steak cube is well-coated.
- Cook the Steak Cubes Arrange the steak cubes in a single layer in the preheated air fryer basket. Cook them for 6 minutes, then flip the cubes and continue cooking for an additional 2 to 5 minutes, depending on your preference for doneness.
- Prepare the Butter Mixture While the steak cooks, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley in a small bowl.
- Toss the Steak in Butter Mixture Once cooked, transfer the steak bites to a serving bowl. Pour the garlic-parsley butter mixture over the hot steak bites and toss well to coat each piece uniformly.
- Rest and Serve Allow the steak bites to rest for 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld. Garnish with additional chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
