Ingredients
- •Beef Sirloin, Top(454g)
- •Soy Sauce, Low Sodium(30g)
- •Brown sugar(10g)
- •Garlic powder(3g)
- •½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- 1Place the steak in a large mixing bowl. Top with the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir to combine, making sure all the cubes are evenly coated.
- 2Let the steak marinade at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes (you can skip this step if you're short on time, but marinating does result in more flavorful meat).
- 3When ready to cook, preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Arrange the steak bites in the air fryer basket in an even layer. Don’t overcrowd the basket and cook in batches if needed—the steak bites shouldn't touch.
- 4Air fry steak bites at 400°F for 4 to 6 minutes, depending upon how well done you like your meat, shaking the basket halfway through (I remove mine at 135°F for medium—note the steak bites' temperature will rise as they rest).
- 5Remove the steak bites to a plate and let rest for at least 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batches.
