Why You’ll Love This Keto Steak and Mushroom Dinner
This is one of my go-to steak recipes. Here’s why I know you’ll love it.
- Perfect cook every time. I love steak, but I don’t love standing over the stove trying to figure out how to get the right doneness on a piece of meat. By cooking these steak bites in the air fryer, you take a lot of the guesswork out of cooking beef. These pieces of steak will be cooked to perfection every single time.
- So quick and easy. This recipe literally takes less than 15 minutes to make. Don’t believe me? Try it for yourself!
- Protein-packed. These steak bites are perfect for anyone who’s on a keto diet or any other low-carb diet. It’s just steak, mushrooms, and seasonings. No fillers and no frills!
- Versatile. You can use this steak for pretty much anything. I like to simply eat it by itself, but it’s also perfect in salads, sandwiches, burritos, or pretty much any other food you could think of.
Ingredients Needed
Here are the ingredients that you’re going to need to make this juicy steak. Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the article to see the exact amounts for each ingredient.
- Steak – I use sirloin steak, but you can use whatever your favorite cut is. Ribeye and filet work great for this recipe.

- Worcestershire sauce
- Butter – Use unsalted butter.
- Kosher salt
- Garlic powder
- Black Pepper – Make sure to use freshly-ground pepper.
How to Make Air Fryer Steak Bites
Here’s how to make this perfectly-cooked steak in under 15 minutes.
- Prep. Preheat the air fryer to 400F.
- Slice. Cut the steak into 1 ½-inch pieces.
- Season. Add the steak to a bowl with the mushrooms, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to combine.
- Add the liquid. Pour the melted butter and Worcestershire sauce over the steak and mushrooms. Toss until coated.
- Cook. Add the steak and mushrooms to an air fryer basket. Cook for 4 minutes, then flip the meat or shake it. Cook for 4 more minutes, then serve.
Tips and Tricks
Here are a few of my favorite tricks to use when making this keto steak meal.
- Cut the meat evenly. It’s really important to cut all of the pieces of steak the same size. If the pieces of meat are different sizes, then they’ll cook at different speeds, and some pieces will end up overcooked or undercooked.
- Single layer. When you put the steak and mushrooms in the air fryer basket, make sure they form a single layer. You don’t want to pile the meat and mushrooms on top of each other, or else they’ll steam, and the texture will not be good. If you have too many pieces of steak and mushrooms to cook in a single layer, then cook in batches.
- Cook to your liking. This recipe cooks the pieces of steak to about medium rare. If you like your meat cooked more thoroughly, add a minute of cooking time until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness.
Serving Suggestions
Steak and mushrooms is a classic flavor combo, so I love to pair it with some traditional sides that you might find at a restaurant. Here are a few of my favorites.
