It’s back to school season, which means we’re back in action with Fit Foodie Cooking Club! This month we’re making our air fryer steak bites and turning them into bowls for a very balanced weeknight meal made with a side salad and crispy potatoes.
What is Fit Foodie Cooking Club?
The Fit Foodie Cooking Club is a monthly cooking challenge to get you in the kitchen cooking from scratch!
We thought there was no better way to bring our virtual community together than to all make the same recipe each month to celebrate real food.
September 2024 – The Details
Read the below details VERY carefully as we want to make sure your entry counts! If you have questions, please leave them in the comments of this post.
We’re so pumped to get cooking with you all again 🤩 And equally as pumped about cooking this recipe. These air fryer steak bites are so yummy and perfect for pairing with a simple salad and potatoes (and don’t skip the green dressing!) for the ultimate bowl recipe! This recipe serves 4-6, so it’s great for a quick dinner or individual servings to pop in the fridge and take to work for lunch throughout the week.
All About Air Fryer Steak Bites
Steak: you’ll need to cut your ribeye steak into 2-inch chunks, and then toss into a marinade made of salt, pepper, brown sugar, worchestershire, and avocado oil.
Potatoes: fingerling potatoes are the perfect size to air fry to crispy perfection after tossing in salt, pepper, dried thyme and avocado oil.
Salad: this simple salad is comprised of romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes and red onion.
Green sauce: whatever you do, don’t skip this green sauce! It’s made with a ton of cilantro, parsley, garlic, shallots, Greek yogurt, lemon juice and feta. It’s super creamy and pairs perfectly drizzled over the steak, potatoes and salad.
How to Make Air Fryer Steak Bites
You’ll want to start with air frying the potatoes because that’s the longest part of the cooking process. Plus, then you’ll have freshly cooked steak when you assemble the bowls — this is how you’ll see the cooking process laid out in the step-by-step recipe card in the blog post as well 😃
- MARINATE THE STEAK.
- Season Potatoes: Preheat the air fryer to 400ºF. Toss the potatoes in oil, sea salt, pepper, and thyme.
- Air Fry Potatoes: Add the potatoes to the air fryer and cook them for 16-18 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- REMOVE STEAK BITES FROM THE FRIDGE.
- Make the Dressing: While the potatoes are cooking, place all the dressing ingredients into a high-speed blender or food processor. Process until smooth and set aside. Remove cooked potatoes from the air fryer.
- AIR FRY THE STEAK BITES.
- Toss Veggies: Toss the romaine, cherry tomatoes, and onions in a large bowl.
- Assemble & Serve: Prepare the steak bowl. Evenly separate the steak, potatoes, and salad into 4-6 bowls. Top with dressing and enjoy!

Charity of the Month
The Emily Victoria Solek Memorial Scholarship Fund
Each month we’ll select a different charity to support. September 2024’s charity of the month is the Emily Victoria Solek Memorial Scholarship Fund. Our good friend and videographer Courtney, from A Paige of Positivity, tragically lost her sister Emily in 2020, and the scholarship fund in her sister’s honor raises funds to support graduates of Stoney Creek High School in Rochester Hills, Michigan, who will be pursuing a four-year college degree. We’ll be doubling the match from our giveaway winners to donate $400 to Emily’s scholarship fund to aid in their efforts.
We would love for you to support our monthly charity and donate what you can. If you feel so inclined, donate to Emily’s scholarship fund HERE.
