Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Potatoes
- 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 pound baby potatoes, cut into halves or quarters
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F to ensure it reaches the right temperature for crisp and tender cooking.
- Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, paprika, onion powder, half the salt, and half the pepper until evenly coated.
- Cook Potatoes: Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 10 minutes to begin crisping and softening them.
- Season the Steak: While potatoes cook, toss the sirloin steak cubes with the remaining olive oil, Italian seasoning, remaining salt, and black pepper for flavor.
- Add Steak to Air Fryer: After 10 minutes, shake the basket to turn the potatoes, then add the seasoned steak bites in a single layer on top or beside the potatoes.
- Air Fry Steak and Potatoes Together: Cook for an additional 6 to 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the steak is browned and the potatoes are tender and crispy.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the minced garlic to make a fragrant garlic butter sauce.
- Toss with Garlic Butter: Once cooked, immediately drizzle the garlic butter over the steak bites and potatoes, tossing gently to coat them evenly.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish for a fresh finish and serve hot.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the garlic butter sauce.
- Use sirloin, ribeye, or New York strip to ensure tender, flavorful steak bites.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to allow potatoes and steak to cook evenly and get crispy.
