- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Enjoy your delicious and easy-to-make air fryer steak bites and mushrooms, a perfect dish for any occasion!
