Step 1: Prepare the Steak - Start by cubing your sirloin into bite-sized pieces. Aim for uniform pieces so they cook evenly.
Step 2: Marinate - In a mixing bowl, combine the cubed steak, vegetable oil, Worcestershire sauce, dry steak seasoning, dry chives, salt, black pepper, melted butter, and minced garlic. Toss well to coat all the pieces evenly. Allow the steak to marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Step 3: Preheat the Air Fryer - Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Preheating is crucial for achieving that perfect crispy exterior.
Step 4: Cook the Steak Bites - Place the marinated steak bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer. It’s best not to overcrowd the basket to ensure they cook evenly. Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
Step 5: Serve - Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steak bites from the air fryer. Serve them immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal.
