Ingredients
  • 4 piecescubed steak beef round sirloin, 16 ounces total
  • 3 largeeggs with 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 1/4 teaspoonssalt
  • 1 cupseasoned breadcrumbs*
  • olive oil spray

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Pat the cubed steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with 1 1/4 teaspoons salt.
  2. In a shallow bowl, beat 3 large eggs with 1 tablespoon water until combined. Place 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs in a separate shallow bowl or plate.
  3. Working one piece at a time, dip a steak into the egg mixture, coating both sides and letting excess drip off, then press it into the breadcrumbs to coat both sides. Pat the crumbs onto the steak with the back of a fork so they stick. Repeat with remaining steaks.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F if your model requires preheating. Arrange the breaded steaks in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary so pieces do not overlap.
  5. Lightly spray the top of the steaks with olive oil spray. Air fry at 400°F for 5 minutes. Flip each steak, spray the other side with olive oil spray, then air fry for another 5 minutes, until the coating is golden and the steaks are cooked through.
  6. Remove the steaks from the air fryer and let rest briefly. Serve with white rice and lime wedges, if desired.
