Notes
- If raw garlic has too much “bite” for you, lightly saute the minced garlic and butter in a small saucepan for 2-3 minutes over low heat.
- Do not skip the step of preheating the air fryer.
- To see if the inside of the steak bites is cooked to my preference, I cut the largest one in half after the initial cooking time.
- Check internal temp with a quick-read thermometer to guarantee the steak bites are at your preferred level of “doneness”.
- For the juiciest, most tender steak bites, allow the meat to rest for 3-5 minutes after cooking.
