    If you enjoy a juicy steak you will love these little juicy sweet and spicy bites of meaty low carb steak bites.

    The keto steak bites made in the air fryer are delicious and tender and don't require any marinating.

    When I was developing my delicious Low Carb Steak Kabobs recipe I came up with the idea of these steak bites in the air fryer.

    Ingredients used to make air fryer keto steak bites

    Make this easy recipe simply by cubing your favourite tender cut of steak and then mixing it with a few seasonings and air fry for a quick 5 minutes!

    ingredients used for keto steak bites recipe.
    Ingredients used for the keto steak bites.
    • Steak: we love a good striploin or sirloin steak that packs a lot of flavour. I used striploin steaks for this recipe and cut them it into small 1" cubes. In Canada I order my meat through TruLocal.
    • Brown Erythritol: giving these tender morsels a touch of a sweet caramelized flavour with Brown Sugar Swerve.
    • Chili Flakes: totally optional but the hint of heat goes super well with the sweet brown erythritol
    • Soy Sauce: adding a salty umami flavour to these keto steak bites just gives it that extra wow factor.
    • Spice Blend: we use salt, pepper, chili, garlic and onion powder to kick up these cute little morsels of heaven.

    Steps by step instructions

    How to make Air Fryer Keto Steak Bites?

    STEP 1: Preheat Air Fryer to 400°F.

    In a large bowl combine the olive oil and soy sauce and then add the cubed steak. Mix until well coated.

    In another small bowl mix the dry seasonings together and then mix into the cubes of steak.

    Recipe tips

    Top Tip: for more flavourful steak bites, let the cubed steak sit with the seasoning for a couple of minutes just to let the flavours mingle before air frying.

    • Storage: Store the air fryer steak bites in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 300°F for 2-3 minutes.
    • Serving Tips: these steak bites are great with a side of a Cauliflower Mash, Keto Fries or how about some Crispy Green Beans.
    • Dipping: enjoy garlic butter steak bites by melting some butter in a saucepan and saute with some chopped fresh garlic until fragrant.

    Frequently asked questions

    What other cuts of steak can I use for this recipe?

    You want to use a tender cut of meat for this recipe such as New York strip, tenderloin, rib eye or sirloin.

    Is steak in the air fryer good?

    If cooked properly steak cooked in the air fryer can be tender and juicy with a lot of flavour.

    Why do people but butter on steak?

    Putting butter on steak adds extra richness and can soften any charred exterior making the steak more tender.

    What makes this steak bite recipe keto?

    Meat on it's own if usually keto and since we only add a few simple spices to this recipe and sweeten it with brown erythritol it remains at only 1g of total carbohydrates per serving.

    Can diabetics eat brown sugar erythritol?

    Sugar alcohols tend not to spike blood sugars and many diabetics don't have any issues with erythritol. However, the best option is to test your blood sugars after consuming to see how it affects you personally.

        I would cook them on the stovetop in a skillet and once browned top them with melted butter and minced garlic and cook another two minutes over medium/low heat.

      These are so easy and very tasty. I did let mine marinate a little. My mom always put butter on her steaks when they were done and I still do that as well. You are right it does add richness.
