Ingredients

For the marinade:

16 ounces sirloin steak
2 teaspoons olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon brown sugar

For the Garlic Butter:

2 cloves garlic minced
3 tablespoons salted butter
1 teaspoon chopped parsley

Instructions

For the steak pieces:

With a sharp knife, cut the steak into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are all similar in size. This allows for even cooking.
In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and brown sugar. Mix these ingredients well to create a marinade.
Toss the steak cubes in the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Place in an airtight container and let sit in the marinade for about 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
While the steak is marinating, preheat air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200°C).
Once the air fryer is preheated, arrange the marinated steak pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Be careful not to overcrowd to ensure proper circulation of air.
Cook steak bites in the air fryer at 400°F for 4-6 minutes, depending on preferred level of doneness.

For the garlic butter sauce:

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the salted butter in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
Once the butter is melted, stir in the minced garlic and chopped parsley.

Combine steak bites and garlic butter sauce:

Once the steak is done, remove it from the air fryer and transfer it to a serving bowl.
Pour the garlic butter sauce over the steak bites, ensuring they are evenly coated with the flavorful sauce and toss to coat all the steak bites with the sauce.
Allow the steak to rest for a couple of minutes, letting the flavors meld together. Serve hot.
