Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs sirloin steak cut into cubes
  • ½ tbsp olive oil
  • 1 ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp thyme

Method
 

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the steak cubes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, oregano and thyme. Toss until the meat is evenly coated.
  3. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil, then arrange the steak cubes in a single layer (work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding).
  4. Air fry at 400°F for 6–7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the steak bites are browned on the outside and cooked to medium to medium-well inside.
  5. Remove from the air fryer and let rest for 3–5 minutes before serving.
