Ingredients
  

1 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Chipotle or BBQ sauce for dipping

Instructions
 

Marinate the Steak Bites: In a mixing bowl, combine the cubed sirloin steak with olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, black pepper, and sea salt. Toss well until the steak pieces are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.

    Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

      Arrange Steak in Air Fryer: Place the marinated steak bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure even cooking.

        Cook the Steak Bites: Air fry the steak bites at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time for even browning.

          Check for Doneness: After 8 minutes, check the steak's doneness. For medium-rare, the internal temperature should reach 130°F. Adjust cooking time if necessary based on your preferred doneness.

            Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the steak bites from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving platter. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for a fresh touch. Serve immediately with chipotle or BBQ sauce for dipping if desired.
