Notes
For different steak options, consider using top sirloin, flank, filet, tri-tip, NY strip, or flat iron. Experiment with seasonings like Montreal Steak Seasoning, Cajun, Trader Joe’s 21 Seasoning Salute, or BBQ seasoning for variety. To reheat, use the microwave or skillet instead of the air fryer due to the butter content. These steak bites can be frozen for up to 3 months.
