Air Fryer Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes

Air Fryer Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Steak Bites:

• 1 lb steak (ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak), cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for extra flavor)
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

For the Potatoes:

• 2 large russet potatoes, cut into bite-sized cubes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Potatoes:

   • Start by washing and peeling the russet potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized cubes (about 1-inch pieces).
   • In a bowl, toss the potato cubes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary (if using) until evenly coated.
   • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
   • Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for about 15-18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

2. Prepare the Steak Bites:

   • While the potatoes are cooking, season the steak cubes with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika (if using). Toss the steak pieces until evenly coated.
   • In a small bowl, melt butter and mix with the minced garlic. Set aside.

3. Cook the Steak Bites:

   • After the potatoes are done, remove them from the air fryer and set aside. Add the seasoned steak cubes to the air fryer basket in a single layer.
   • Air fry the steak bites at 400°F (200°C) for 6-8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. The steak should be cooked to your desired doneness (medium-rare to medium is recommended).
   • Once cooked, remove the steak bites from the air fryer and immediately toss them with the melted garlic butter mixture. Stir to coat the steak in the buttery goodness.

4. Combine and Serve:

   • Once both the steak bites and potatoes are done, combine them in a serving dish.
   • Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

5. Enjoy:

   • Serve your delicious Air Fryer Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes hot and enjoy the crispy potatoes alongside juicy, flavorful steak bites!

Tips for Success:

• Steak Cut: You can use any cut of steak you prefer, but ribeye or sirloin works best for this recipe. Make sure to cut the steak into uniform cubes to ensure even cooking.
• Doneness: If you prefer your steak bites cooked more or less, adjust the cooking time accordingly. For medium-rare, air fry for around 6 minutes, and for well-done, air fry for 9-10 minutes.
• Potato Variety: Feel free to use baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes instead of russet potatoes for a slightly different texture.
• Flavor Variations: Add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese over the steak bites or potatoes for extra richness or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a tangy finish.

These Air Fryer Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes are perfect for a satisfying meal without all the hassle. The air fryer gives you crispy, tender potatoes and juicy steak bites in less time and with minimal cleanup. Enjoy! 🍖🧄🥔
