  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the steak bites start cooking immediately on a hot surface, searing the exterior for a delicious crust.
  2. Prepare the steak: Cut the ribeye into evenly sized pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
  3. Season: Add the seasonings directly to the steak along with avocado oil and Worcestershire sauce, tossing well to coat every piece.
  4. Cook: Arrange the steak bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Remember not to overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary. Air fry at 400°F for about 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. Finish with butter: Once cooked, let the steak bites rest for a few minutes before tossing them with melted butter.

Storing and Reheating

Air fryer steak bites store well in the refrigerator for up to three days when kept in an airtight container. For reheating, simply place them back in the air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes or until heated through.

How to Serve Steak Bites

Steak bites are incredibly versatile! Serve them as an appetizer with toothpicks and a side of truffle steak sauce, creamy horseradish, boom boom sauce, or blue cheese dip. For a hearty meal, pair them with sides of roasted vegetables, a crisp salad, or over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes. Serve them with a sprinkle of one of these great steak toppings. They’re also great in wraps or atop a fresh Caesar salad for a protein-packed lunch.
