Ingredients

Main Ingredients

2 lbs ribeye steaks A tender, flavorful cut; Chuck eye or New York strip can be used as substitutes.
1 tsp Kosher salt Enhances flavor; sea salt can be used if needed.
1 tbsp Avocado oil Perfect for high-heat cooking; olive oil is a substitute.
1 tbsp Jack Daniel’s Steak Seasoning Adds smoky flavor; use your favorite steak rub if unavailable.
6 tbsp unsalted butter Creates a rich sauce; ghee can be tried for a different flavor.
4 cloves garlic (minced) Provides garlic kick; shallots can be used as a substitute.
1 tbsp Fresh rosemary (minced) Adds herbal element; thyme or parsley are good alternatives.
Freshly ground black pepper Balances the flavors.

Method

Preparation

Choose your steak: Slice ribeye into bite-sized cubes.
In a bowl, combine steak cubes with salt, avocado oil, and steak seasoning. Toss until coated.
Chop garlic and rosemary finely to enhance flavor.

Cooking

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Arrange the seasoned steak in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
While cooking, melt butter in a small pan, add minced garlic and rosemary, stirring until fragrant.

Serving

Transfer cooked steak bites to a bowl and pour garlic butter over them. Mix gently to coat.
Adjust flavor with freshly ground black pepper and serve hot, garnished with extra rosemary.

Notes

For a twist, try flavored butter. Let steak rest briefly after cooking for juiciness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
