    Certainly! Cooking garlic butter steak bites in an air fryer is a quick and delicious way to enjoy a flavorful meal. Here’s a simple recipe to get you started:

    Ingredients:

    • 1 lb (about 450g) steak (such as sirloin, ribeye, or tenderloin), cut into 1-inch cubes
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • Salt, to taste
    • Black pepper, to taste
    • 4 tablespoons butter
    • 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
    • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
    • Optional: Red pepper flakes for a spicy kick

    Instructions:

    1. Preheat the Air Fryer:
      • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes. This ensures the steak bites cook evenly.
    2. Prepare the Steak:
      • In a bowl, toss the steak cubes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until they are well-coated.
    3. Cook the Steak Bites:
      • Place the steak bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can lead to uneven cooking.
      • Cook for about 7-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, or until the steak bites reach your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim closer to 7 minutes; for more well-done bites, aim for 10 minutes.

    1. Make the Garlic Butter:
      • While the steak is cooking, melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat.
      • Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
      • If you’re using red pepper flakes, you can add them now.
    2. Combine and Serve:
      • Once the steak bites are cooked, transfer them to a bowl.
      • Pour the garlic butter over the cooked steak bites and toss to coat evenly.
      • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

    Tips:

    • Choosing the Steak: Tender cuts like sirloin, ribeye, or tenderloin work best for quick cooking and will be more tender than tougher cuts.
    • Doneness: The cooking time may vary depending on the size of your steak bites and the model of your air fryer. Adjust the cooking time accordingly.
    • Serving: These garlic butter steak bites can be served as an appetizer or main dish. They pair wonderfully with sides like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

    Enjoy your delicious and easy-to-make air fryer garlic butter steak bites!
