Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Sharp Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Small Mixing Bowl

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

Instructions

  • Cut the steak into bite sized pieces (about 1.5-inch cubes).
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the oil, salt, pepper, paprika, chili flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Add the steak to the bowl and mix well.
  • Take each individual steak bite and wrap with bacon. Secure with a toothpick (see article for photos and details).
  • Add each steak bite to the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd. Cook 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*.
  • Serve with a dipping sauce, or as is.

Notes

Internal Temperature for Steak

Rare: 120°F, Medium-Rare: 130°F, Medium: 140°F, Medium-Well: 150°F, Well-Done: 160°F.
An instant read thermometer is the best way to check the internal temperature to test doneness.
 
*Air Fryer models vary, as do cuts of meat, so I suggest doing a test before cooking the entire batch so you get the level of doneness you prefer.
