Easy and Quick Air Fryer Steak Bites with a Mushroom Gravy

When it comes to easy flavorful meals, this dinner for 2 can be made in 30 minutes or less! What I love about these air fryer recipes is you can leave what you are air frying to work on other parts of the dish! The steak is a perfect medium and you get this rich sauce without any dairy in it!

First, cube your steak in 1 inch pieces. I love using Ribeye because I believe it is one of the most flavorful steaks. I like the marbling of fat throughout the meat. Once your steak is cubed, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. I drizzled a tsp of olive oil, but that is optional. Air fry in a preheated air fryer at 390 F for 9-9 1/2 minutes. I find this leaves a not overly pink center.

While your steak is cooking microwave your mashed potatoes. You can make from scratch or used premade, whatever works best for you. For your sauce, in a small pan, melt 1 tbsp butter with 1 tbsp minced garlic, 1 cup of mushrooms, and 1 tsp of thyme. Sauté until the mushrooms start to wilt down. Then add 3/4 cup beef broth, and 2 tbsp red wine. Let simmer. Mix 1 tbsp corn starch with 1 tbsp water and pour into the sauce and let simmer for a few minutes. This will help thicken the gravy. Let cool for 5 minutes while your steak also rests for 5 minutes.

Serve the steak on your fluffy mashed potatoes and drizzle your sauce on top. Sprinkle with parsley and enjoy!
