Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Potatoes
- 1 ½ pounds boneless ribeye steaks, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 6 gold Yukon potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
Garlic Butter
- 3 Tablespoons salted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (205°C) to ensure optimal cooking temperature for both steak bites and potatoes.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Toss the bite-sized Yukon potatoes in olive oil, half of the kosher salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Spread them evenly in the air fryer basket and cook for about 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even crisping.
- Cook the Steak Bites: While the potatoes cook, season the ribeye steak bites with remaining salt and pepper. After potatoes have cooked for 15 minutes, add the steak bites to the air fryer basket (or cook separately if needed) and air fry for an additional 6-8 minutes, shaking or stirring halfway to cook evenly. The steak should be browned on the outside and tender inside.
- Prepare Garlic Butter Sauce: In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the salted butter. Add minced garlic and cook gently for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat and stir in fresh chopped parsley.
- Toss Steak and Potatoes: Once both steak bites and potatoes are cooked, transfer to a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm garlic butter sauce over the mixture and toss to coat everything evenly and enhance flavor.
- Serve: Plate the garlic steak bites and potatoes immediately while hot. Garnish with a sprinkle of extra fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy this quick, savory air fryer meal!
Notes
- Make sure to cut both steak and potatoes into uniform bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
- If your air fryer basket is small, cook steak bites separately after the potatoes are done.
- You can substitute ribeye with sirloin or another tender cut of steak if preferred.
- Adjust seasoning to taste; adding a pinch of chili flakes can add a nice spicy kick.
- Use fresh minced garlic for the best flavor; avoid pre-minced garlic for a fresher taste.
