Equipment

• Air Fryer

Instructions 

1. Combine the steak cubes and mushrooms. Make sure they’re about the same size for even cooking. Coat with the 2 Tablespoons of melted butter and then season with 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
2. Preheat the Air Fryer at 400°F (205°C) for 4 minutes. This will give the steak a good sear.
3. Add the steak and mushrooms in the air fryer basket or rack and spread it in one even layer.
4. Air fry at 400°F (205°C)for 10-18 minutes, shaking and flipping and the steak and mushrooms about 3 times through cooking process (time depends on your preferred doneness, thickness of the steak, size of the air fryer).
5. Check the steak to see how well done it is cooked. If you want the steak more done, add an extra 2-5 minutes of cooking time.
6. (optional) Garnish with parsley and drizzle with optional melted butter and/or optional chili flakes.  Season with additional salt & pepper if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

• If cooking in multiple batches (if you have a small air fryer or are doubling the recipe), the first batch will take longer to cook if Air Fryer is not already pre-heated.
• Remember to set a timer to shake/flip/toss the food as directed in recipe.

If your air fryer is preheated or if you are cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce timing by a few minutes (unless preheating is called for in the recipe).
