Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F and allow it to preheat to ensure even cooking.

- Season Steak: Toss the steak cubes with the prepared seasoning mix and olive oil until the pieces are evenly coated.
- Arrange Steak Cubes: Place the seasoned steak bites in an even layer inside the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding by dividing into two batches if necessary for better air circulation.

Notes
- Ensure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket for even cooking and better browning.
- Cooking time may vary based on steak thickness and air fryer model; check doneness and adjust as needed.
- For a rare finish, reduce time to about 3 minutes; for well done, increase slightly.
