How to Make Keto Air Fryer Steak Bites
Preheat the air fryer to 400F for a few minutes while you prep the steak recipe.
In a shallow bowl, add eggs and beat to make an egg wash.
In another shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper.
Add the pork rind crumbs to a plate or place them into a shallow bowl.
Carefully, roll the steak pieces into the almond flour mixture, and dip them into the egg wash.
After the egg wash then coat in the pork rind crumbs. These make the greatest keto breadcrumbs ever!
Add coated steak bite-sized pieces to a rack in the Air Fryer basket, and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy. Turn the bites once during the cooking time.
Serve and enjoy.
Storage
Any leftover steak bites should be stored in an airtight container and kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The best way you can reheat your keto steak bites is in the Air Fryer for a few minutes.
Do not overcook your bites when you mean to just reheat them. I don’t recommend trying to reheat them in the microwave because the breading won’t be the right crispy texture, it will end up soggy and flake off.
I do not recommend trying to freeze these for later.
Tips and Variations
- In some Air Fryer recipes, you need to spritz your ingredients with olive oil, avocado oil, or another cooking oil, but that is not needed with this recipe.
- Always use a meat thermometer to check on the internal temperature of your steak bites to ensure you get the desired doneness level.
- Only put the steak bites in a single layer in the Air Fryer basket. Do not overcrowd your basket or the bites can’t cook evenly. The Air Fryer needs room to circulate the hot air around to cook the food inside.
- You can use the Air Fryers that have trays or the basket style Air Fryers, just make sure to space out the bites.
- If you don’t want to use eggs, you can use melted butter for your easy Air Fryer steak bites.
- Serve these bites with your favorite low carb sides for a complete low carb meal.
- Remember that the cooking time required for your steak cubes may change from fryer make and model, so always check your bite size pieces to ensure they’re done to your desired level of doneness before eating.
Can I use a different cut of steak?
Yes, you can. Keep in mind other cuts of steak may have different fat percentages and may alter your nutritional information. You could try strip steaks, top sirloin, or a sirloin steak cut into small pieces.
