Instructions
- Pat the @[Sirloin Steak] cubes completely dry with #[Paper Towel] — this is key to getting a good sear in the #[Air Fryer]. In a large #[Mixing Bowl], combine the @[Olive Oil], @[Garlic Powder], @[Onion Powder], @[Smoked Paprika], @[Kosher Salt], and @[Black Pepper]. Add the @[Sirloin Steak] cubes and toss until every piece is evenly coated.
- Preheat your #[Air Fryer] to ![400°F] for ~[3 minutes]. Arrange the @[Sirloin Steak] bites in a single layer in the #[Air Fryer] basket — do not overcrowd. Work in batches if needed. Air fry for ~[7–9 minutes], shaking the basket halfway through, until the bites are browned on the outside and cooked to your preferred doneness (7 min = medium-rare, 9 min = medium-well).
- While the @[Sirloin Steak] bites cook, melt the @[Butter] in a small #[Saucepan] over ^[medium-low heat]. Add the minced @[Garlic] and cook, stirring frequently, for ~[1–2 minutes] until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat and stir in the @[Worcestershire Sauce] (if using) and @[Fresh Parsley].
- Transfer the hot @[Sirloin Steak] bites to a serving bowl or platter. Immediately drizzle the @[Garlic] herb @[Butter] over the top and toss gently to coat. Taste and adjust @[Kosher Salt] if needed. Serve right away — these are best enjoyed fresh and hot.
