Equipment

Ingredients

1 pound top sirloin steak cut up into about 1-inch cubes
8 ounces baby bella mushrooms halved or quartered
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
red pepper flakes for garnish, optional
chopped fresh parsley for garnish, optional

Instructions

Place cubed steak and cut mushrooms in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Add in the olive oil and Worcestershire sauce; toss to combine and let stand for 15 minutes.
Arrange the steak and mushrooms in an even layer inside the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket. If needed, cook in batches.
Cook at 400˚F for 4 minutes; shake and continue to cook for 4 more minutes, or until steak’s internal temperature registers at 130˚F for medium-rare. Use an Instant Read Meat Thermometer to check for doneness. Cook 2 to 3 minutes longer for a well-done steak.
Transfer the steak and mushrooms to a serving plate.
Garnish with red pepper flakes and parsley, and serve.

Notes

Cutting the Steak: Cut larger steak chunks to avoid overcooking in the air fryer, as smaller pieces can easily overcook.
Room Temp is Best: Allow the steak to rest at room temperature for 10 to 20 minutes before cooking for even cooking results.
Cleaning the Mushrooms: A quick rinse won't waterlog mushrooms. Then, pat them dry or let them air dry on a paper towel before cooking.
Avoid Overcrowding: Give each steak bite space in the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and a crispy texture. If needed, cook in batches.
Optimal Cooking: Preheating the air fryer for a few minutes before cooking can lead to better texture and quicker, more even cooking.
Check Regularly: Especially for those desiring a specific level of 'doneness', keep a close eye on the steak bites to avoid overcooking. Adjust the cooking time as needed.
