Ingredients
- 1 pound steak tips New York, Sirloin or Ribeye steak, cubed
- ½ medium yellow onion very thinly sliced or diced finely
- 2-4 ounces blue cheese crumbles
- 2 tablespoons melted salted butter optional
Marinade
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon coconut sugar substitute brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
- Add the beef tips and stir to coat them thoroughly.
- Let sit for at least 3 hours, or overnight for best results, in the fridge.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400F degrees for about 3-5 minutes.
- Lightly spray the bottom of the air fryer with oil and add the beef tips in a single layer. (They will need to be cooked in two batches). Layer half the onion slices on top.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes for medium-rare to medium.
- Repeat with remaining beef and onions.
- Sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles and drizzle with melted butter.
Notes
- For even cooking, you should cook steak tips in a single layer, being sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket. This means you'll likely need to cook them in two separate batches, especially if you have a small air fryer.
- Each air fryer is a little different so you may need to adjust the temperature or cook time slightly.
- Use a good quality spray oil (not PAM or equivalent) to avoid damaging the air fryer. I like to use this oil sprayer and fill it with my favorite oil.
- If you prefer your steak tips well done, air fry for a few extra minutes, but check on them to make sure they don’t burn or overcook. Cook them to your desired doneness.
- You can also cook your steak tips in a cast iron skillet until browned on all sides, then serve.
