Equipment
- 1 Air fryer
Ingredients
- 500 g Tenderised Steak, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 2.5 cm cubes
- 1 tbsp Avocado oil or Canola oil, 15 ml
- 1 tsp Braai salt or Ina Paarman Seasoned Sea Salt
- 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- tsp onion powder, or 1 tsp Steak & Chops spice
The Garlic Butter Toss
- 2 tbsp Salted butter, 30g
- 1 tsp Minced garlic, approx. 2 crushed cloves
- 1 tbsp Fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 200°C for 5 minutes. Getting the basket hot is the secret to a quick sear without overcooking the meat.
- Season the Cubes: Pat the steak cubes completely dry with kitchen towel. In a bowl, toss the cubes with the oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly coated.
- Air Fry: Tip the cubes into the air fryer basket in a single layer with space between each piece. Cook at 200°C for 4 to 6 minutes for medium-rare to medium, shaking the basket halfway through at the 3-minute mark.
- Toss in Garlic Butter: While the steak cooks, melt the butter in a heatproof bowl and stir in the minced garlic and chopped parsley. As soon as the steak bites come out of the air fryer, tip them into the garlic butter and toss to coat. Let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
