Cajun Butter Steak Bites with Mushrooms
Ingredients:
• 1 lb beef tenderloin
• 2 ½ tbsp oil
• ½ tbsp Tony Chachere Creole Seasoning
• ¾ tsp paprika
• ¾ tsp onion powder
• ¼ tsp ground black pepper
• 2 cups baby bella mushrooms (sliced)
• 1 tbsp oil
• 2 ½ tbsp butter
Instructions:
Whisk together creole seasoning, paprika, onion powder, and black pepper; set aside.
Cut beef tenderloin into 1½-inch by 1-inch pieces. Place steak bites, sliced mushrooms, 2½ tbsp oil, and seasoning mix into bowl.
Mix until meat and mushrooms are well coated. Cover bowl and marinate 30 minutes to 1½ hours
Preheat air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes. Cook in the air fryer (in 2 batches) at 400°F for 6-10 minutes.
TIP: Beef should be in a single layer with a tiny space between pieces so they don’t steam. Place mushrooms in and around steak. Mushrooms may be cooked seperately at 400°F for 6 minutes
Toss cooked mushrooms and steak pieces in bowl with butter. Sprinkle with more creole seasoning or salt if desired.
