Description
Bite sized, tender pieces of filet beef are marinated in a savory vinegariette and then quickly cooked in an air fryer. The perfect go along is a creamy blue cheese dipping sauce.
Ingredients
Steak Marinade
- 1 pound filet steak, cut into 1" cubes*
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup balsamic or Italian dressing
- 1 tablespoon sugar or sugar substitute
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Mix together the blue cheese dipping sauce ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until time to serve. *
- Combine marinade ingredients in a large bowl and stir in the cubed beef. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.**
- Remove from refrigerator and drain the marinade from the beef.
- Preheat air fryer for 4 minutes at 400°F.
- Place steak cubes in air fryer basket in an even layer, not crowding the meat. (Cook in two batches if needed.)
- Close basket drawer and cook steak for 4 minutes. Flip the cubed steak and cook for another 4 minutes.
- Test one cube with a thermometer and continue cooking until the meat reaches desired doneness. ***
- Serve with the blue cheese dipping sauce!
Notes
*Instead of filet steak, you can also try flank, top sirloin or boneless strip steak.
** The dipping sauce will thicken a bit as it gets cold in the refrigerator.
***If you are in a hurry, to save time you can just combine the meat and the marinade and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. It will still absorb some of the marinade flavor.
****I used a Philips Premium XXL Air Fryer for this recipe. All models cook differently and may need a shorter or longer time to cook.
*****Please note, the nutrition information reflects not using all the marinade. When the beef is drained, all but about 2-3 tablespoons remained so the fat content reflects that. Also, the dipping sauce allows for a generous portion of sauce. If less is used then the calorie and fat count will be less.
