Air Fryer Steak Bites and Mushrooms

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This step is crucial as it ensures that the steak bites and mushrooms start cooking immediately, sealing in the juices and flavors.
  2. Cooking:
    • Arrange the marinated steak cubes and mushrooms in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are spread out in a single layer for even cooking. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
    • Cook for about 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
  3. Finishing Touches:
    • Once cooked, transfer the steak bites and mushrooms to a serving dish. If you desire extra richness, you can toss them with a tablespoon of butter while they are still hot.
    • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
  4. Serving:
    • Serve the air fryer steak bites and mushrooms immediately. They are perfect as a hearty appetizer or a main course paired with a side of mashed potatoes, rice, or a fresh salad.
  5. Tips and Variations:
    • Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick or a splash of balsamic vinegar for a tangy twist.
    • For a low-carb option, serve the steak bites and mushrooms with cauliflower rice or a side of steamed vegetables.
    • If you’re cooking in batches, keep the cooked steak bites and mushrooms warm in the oven at a low temperature while you finish the rest.
  6. Storage and Reheating:
    • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
    • To reheat, place them in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 minutes or until heated through. You can also reheat them in a skillet over medium heat with a little bit of oil or butter.
