Bacon Wrapped Steak Bites in the Air Fryer

Serves 4 in about 30 minutes. The air fryer brings filet mignon and onion powder together.

Ingredients

• 1 pound filet mignon (or sirloin, ribeye, etc.)
• 1 pound bacon, cut in half (not thick)
• 1 teaspoon olive oil (or avocado oil)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder

Method

1. Cut the steak into bite sized pieces (about 1.5-inch cubes).
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the oil, salt, pepper, paprika, chili flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder.
3. Stir in the steak to the bowl and mix well.
4. Take each individual steak bite and wrap with bacon. Secure with a toothpick (see article for photos and details).
5. Tip in each steak bite to the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd. Simmer at 380°F for 11-15 minutes, depending on how well done you want your bacon and steak. I cooked it for 11 minutes for a medium rare steak*.
6. Plate with a dipping sauce, or as is.
