Quick and easy crispy steak bites cooked in an air fryer, served with a fresh and creamy garlic herb dip. Perfect for a protein-packed snack or appetizer with minimal fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) sirloin steak, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning (optional)
  • ½ cup (120g) sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and place them in a large bowl.
  2. Drizzle olive oil over the steak cubes. Sprinkle kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and dried thyme (if using). Toss well until evenly coated. Let sit for about 5 minutes.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  4. Arrange steak pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding. Cook for 7-9 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and crispy and cooked to preferred doneness.
  5. Transfer steak bites to a plate and let rest for 3-5 minutes.
  6. While steak rests, combine sour cream or Greek yogurt, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chives (if using), lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir until creamy and smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  7. Serve steak bites warm alongside the garlic herb dip. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Pat steak dry before seasoning to ensure crispiness. Do not overcrowd air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed. Preheat air fryer for best searing. Rest steak bites after cooking to keep them juicy. Dip can be made 1-2 days ahead and refrigerated. Reheat steak bites in air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes to regain crispiness.
