🧂 Ingredients Needed

❔ FAQs

💭 Expert Tips and Tricks

• Allow your butter to come up to room temperature so it's easier to mix in the seasonings.
• You'll find garlic and herb steak seasoning in most grocery stores' spice section.
• Cook your steak bites until just under the doneness you like. Once removed from the air fryer, they'll continue to cook for a few minutes, and if you don't take them out early enough they may overcook.

📌 You'll love this air fryer steak recipe because it's easy, fast, and always delicious! Paired with the homemade garlic butter, this recipe will be a major hit.

💡 Substitutions and Variations

• If using unsalted butter, add about a half a teaspoon of salt, or use garlic salt instead of garlic powder.
• Instead of flank steak, you could also use precut stew meat.
• Any cut of meat cut into 1-inch chunks will work for this recipe.
• Feel free to omit the red pepper flakes if you're not a fan of the heat.

🥫 Storage and Reheating

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for 2-3 months.

To reheat, pop them back in the air fryer at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes or so, or until heated all the way through. From frozen, you'll want to let them thaw in the fridge, or add more time in the air fryer.
