Air Fryer Breaded Cubed Steak (bistec empanizado)

This breaded cubed steak recipe (bistec empanizado) is a Puerto Rican staple, and making it in the air fryer is easy and healthier!

Ingredients:

  • 4 pieces cubed steak (beef round sirloin) (16 ounces total)
  • 3 large eggs (with 1 tablespoon water)
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs*
  • olive oil spray
  • white rice and lime wedges (optional for serving)

Directions:

  • Season the beef with salt on both sides.
  • Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl with water.
  • Dip the beef in the egg, then into the breadcrumbs, patting it with the back of a fork so it sticks.
  • Transfer to the air fryer basket in batches as needed.
  • Spray the top of the beef with oil then air fry 400F in a single layer 5 minutes on each side, spraying the other side when you flip. Serve with rice and lime wedges, if desired.
