Air Fryer Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes
Ingredients
For the Potatoes
- 3 large potatoes, cut into small cubes
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
For the Steak
- 2 strip steaks (about 10 oz / 280 g each), cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1–2 teaspoons steak seasoning (optional)
Garlic Butter
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried parsley until evenly coated.
Step 2: Air Fry the Potatoes
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the potatoes in the basket and cook for 20 minutes, shaking the basket every 5–7 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
Step 3: Season the Steak
While the potatoes cook, pat the steak dry and cut it into bite-sized cubes. Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and steak seasoning.
Step 4: Cook the Steak
Remove the potatoes from the basket and keep them warm. Add the steak bites to the air fryer and cook at 400°F (200°C) for 6–8 minutes, shaking halfway through. Cook a little longer if you prefer the steak more done.
Step 5: Make the Garlic Butter
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Stir in the minced garlic and dried parsley until well combined.
Step 6: Combine and Serve
Place the crispy potatoes on a serving platter, top with the steak bites, and drizzle the garlic butter over everything. Toss gently to coat and serve immediately.
Optional Garnishes
- Fresh chopped parsley
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Lemon wedges
- Red pepper flakes for a little heat
Tips
- Sirloin, strip steak, or ribeye all work well.
- Cut the steak into evenly sized cubes for even cooking.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket for the crispiest potatoes and best sear on the steak.
