Preheat the air fryer to 400°Fahrenheit (200°Celsius) for about 5 minutes. Set out your spices, oil, and butter while it heats.
Cut the ribeye into small, even cubes and place them in a mixing bowl for easy seasoning.
Add salt, garlic powder, black pepper, avocado oil, and Worcestershire sauce. Toss until all pieces are evenly coated.
Arrange the cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°Fahrenheit (200°Celsius) for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Melt the butter in a small bowl, adding a pinch of salt if desired.
Rest the steak for 2 minutes, then drizzle with melted butter and toss gently. Finish with chopped parsley and serve.
Notes
Thicker chunks will take longer, smaller tips will cook faster. Always rest your meat before serving to keep it juicy.
Don’t skip preheating the air fryer because a hot air fryer basket gives the steak tips an instant sear. This quick blast of heat helps lock in moisture and improves the crispy edges.
Avoid crowding the basket, or the steak tips will steam instead of crisping. Cook in batches if needed so every piece gets proper airflow and better browning.
