Ingredients

Sirloin Steak Bites or a 1lb. sirloin steak cut into bite size pieces
Steak seasoning or salt and pepper
Olive oil
An Air Fryer - I have a Philips XL Air Fryer and also a Gourmia Air Fryer which is a little less expensive.

Steps:

Start by preheating your air fryer to 390° or 400°.
Place the steak bites in a bowl and add about a tablespoon of steak seasoning or season with salt and pepper.
Pour in a tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat all of the steak bites.
Place the steak bites in a single layer in your air fryer basket and cook for 5 minutes.
Turn the steak bites over and cook for an additional 4 minutes for medium steak. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes for medium well and a couple minutes less for medium rare.
Remove from the air fryer and allow them to rest for 5-10 minutes so the meat will retain its juices.
Enjoy in a salad or with your favorite veggies for lunch or dinner!

Idaho-Style Finger Steaks image

Yummy, highly seasoned steak nuggets, deep fried and served with Ranch dressing -- just like in the fast food joints in Idaho in the '70's! I missed these so much that I kept playing with the ingredients until I finally came up with this perfect re-creation of the real thing. A taste of the old times when we didn't know how bad deep frying was for us! Serve with ranch dressing, or your favorite bbq sauce, steak sauce, or blue cheese dressing!

Time 3h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 egg
2 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons grill seasoning, such as McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ pounds boneless beef sirloin steak, cut into 2 1/2 x 1/4 inch strips
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
3 cups canola oil for deep frying

Steps:

Beat together the egg, buttermilk, grill seasoning, and 1/2 cup of flour in a large bowl until smooth. Add the beef, and toss until well coated. Cover with plastic wrap, and place into the refrigerator to marinate at least 2 hours.
Sift 2 1/2 cups flour with the garlic powder, salt, and pepper into a large bowl. Remove steak strips from buttermilk batter and allow excess to drip off. Dredge each piece with seasoned flour and place onto a baking sheet. Place in the freezer and freeze until firm, 1 hour to overnight.
Heat oil to 370 degrees F (185 degrees C) in a deep fryer or cast iron skillet.
Drop a few frozen steak pieces into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on the outside, about 5 minutes. Do not overcrowd the frying oil, and do not allow the steak strips to thaw before they are fried. Once golden brown, remove to drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 boneless New York strip steaks (1 inch thick; about 1 1/2 pounds total)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Cooking spray
1 15-ounce bag frozen French fries
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons honey Dijon mustard
3/4 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
5 cups frisée (about 3 small heads) or mesclun greens
Chopped fresh chives, for topping
Ketchup and mayonnaise, for serving

Steps:

Preheat a 6-quart air fryer to 400˚ F. Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Spray the air-fryer basket and grate insert with cooking spray and place the steaks in the basket. Cook the steaks until browned, 4 to 6 minutes; flip and cook 4 to 6 more minutes for medium rare. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and tent with foil to keep warm. Wipe the air-fryer basket clean with a paper towel.
Reheat the air fryer to 400˚ F. Add the French fries to the air-fryer basket and cook until golden and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Season with salt.
Meanwhile, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, thyme and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the frisée and toss well to coat.
Slice the steaks and divide among plates along with the fries and salad. Sprinkle the steak and salad with chives and serve with ketchup and mayonnaise.

Tips:

Choose thin cuts of steak: Thinner cuts will cook more evenly and quickly in the air fryer. Look for steaks that are about 1/4 to 1/2 inch in thickness.
Tenderize the steak: Pounding the steak with a meat mallet or using a tenderizing marinade will help to break down the tough fibers and make the steak more tender.
Season the steak: Season the steak with your favorite seasonings before cooking. This could include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or any other spices you enjoy.
Cook the steak in a single layer: Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Make sure the steaks are in a single layer so that they cook evenly.
Cook the steak to your desired doneness: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the steak and your desired doneness. For a medium-rare steak, cook for about 6-8 minutes per side. For a medium steak, cook for about 8-10 minutes per side. For a well-done steak, cook for about 10-12 minutes per side.
Let the steak rest before serving: Once the steak is cooked, remove it from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Conclusion:

Air fryer finger steaks are a quick, easy, and delicious way to enjoy a steak dinner. By following these tips, you can cook perfect finger steaks every time. So next time you're looking for a weeknight meal that's both satisfying and healthy, give air fryer finger steaks a try.
