You’ll devour these steak tips so quick and you’ll probably make them more often. If you don’t want to add potatoes, you can add mushrooms, asparagus or what ever veggies you like. If it’s carrots or firm veggies, make sure to par-boil them a bit first so that the steak bites and veggies cook at the same time. Another option is cook the steak tips first and while they rest, cook the veggies after.

What Temperature to Air Fry Steak Tips?

1. First, preheat the air fryer first and the hot temperature will give the steaks steak tips a great sear! Air Fryer temperatures will vary slightly on each model. But consistency after testing on 6 different air fryers, we like to cook the steaks at 400°F/205°C.

If you want, you can cook the steak tips just by themselves. Or add mushrooms, asparagus or what ever veggies you like. But if you want to serve with potatoes: cut potatoes into pieces about half the size of the steak bites for them to cook to the best texture. We prefer using pee-wee or baby gold potatoes and then cutting them in half or quarters. 

Keto friendly version: you can cook the steak tips without potatoes or with other keto-friendly veggies.

For the types of steak, use your favorite. Depending on the budget, we prefer ribeye, sirloin, tri-tip, and chuck shoulder steaks (aka London Broil steaks).

• (optional) Garnish with parsley, optional melted butter drizzled on,  and/or optional chili flakes. Season with additional salt & pepper if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

• Recipes were cooked in 3-4 qt air fryers. If using a larger air fryer, the recipe might cook quicker so adjust cooking time.
• Preheating the Air Fryer is preferable, it creates a better sear on the steak. If you don’t preheat, add more time to the cooking.
• Remember to set a timer to shake/flip/toss the food as directed in recipe.

If your air fryer is preheated or if you are cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce timing by a few minutes (unless preheating is called for in the recipe).
