Air Fryer Steak Bites Recipe
Air Fryer Steak Bites are delicious, tender chunks of sirloin steak seasoned with garlic, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and a hint of red pepper flakes for a spicy touch. They make an ideal game-day appetizer or a satisfying meal when served with mushrooms or your favorite vegetables. With just a few minutes of cook time, you can have a flavorful dish ready in under 15 minutes.
Archaeological evidence from cave sites shows that humans have been consuming beef since before 10,000 BC. At that time, the meat came from aurochs—large wild oxen that were the ancestors of modern domestic cattle.
Cave paintings and ancient bovine bones discovered by researchers indicate that early humans hunted aurochs for survival, not sport. Cattle were domesticated as early as 8,000 BC for both milk and meat, and today, beef is among the most widely eaten meats across the globe.
If your family loves steak, this recipe is a great fit. Air fryer steak bites deliver mouthwateringly tender, juicy pieces of beef. Plus, air frying is a healthier alternative to deep frying, using little or no oil and relying on hot air to cook—eliminating the need for greasy cooking methods.
