Choosing the Right Cut of Steak For Bites
To create perfect Air Fryer Steak Bites with Mushrooms, selecting the right cut of steak is important.
Choose a tender cut with a good amount of marbling, such as ribeye or sirloin.
These cuts are tender and rich in flavour, making them ideal for this dish.
Ingredients
Serves 2
- 225g mushrooms sliced
- 2 tbsp olive Oil
- 454g (1lb) sirloin steak (cut into even 1-inch cubes)
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic granules
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
Preparing the Steak and Mushroom Marinade
The marinade helps tenderise the meat and the mushrooms absorb the flavours.
Mix the olive oil, garlic granules, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until well combined to make the marinade.
Place the steak cubes and mushrooms in a shallow dish or a resealable bag, and pour the marinade over them, making sure they are evenly coated.
Marinate for at least 1 hour or refrigerate overnight to intensify the flavours.
Preheat Your Air Fryer
Before cooking your Steak and Mushroom Bites, preheat your air fryer to 200C/400F for 5 minutes.
Preheating helps to create a crisp exterior on the steak and mushrooms, sealing in their juices.
How To Air Fry Steak Bites With Mushrooms
Remove the steak and mushrooms from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.
Place a single layer of steak and mushrooms in the basket, leaving enough space for the hot air to circulate.
Set the temperature to 200C/400F and cook for 8-10 minutes for medium-rare steak.
Adjust the cooking time according to your desired level of doneness and the thickness of the steak.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak bites. See the charts below.
Halfway through the cooking time, carefully turn the steak and mushrooms so they cook evenly on both sides.
Once the steak and mushrooms reach your preferred level of doneness, remove them from the basket and let them rest for a few minutes.
Resting allows the juices to be redistributed and ensures a tender and juicy steak bite.
