Air Fryer Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes

1. Prepare the Potatoes:

1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika.
3. Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.

2. Prepare the Steak Bites:

1. In the same bowl, toss the steak pieces with the remaining olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
2. Once the potatoes have cooked for 15 minutes, add the steak bites to the air fryer basket with the potatoes. Ensure they are spread out evenly.
3. Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the steak bites are browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness and the potatoes are crispy.

3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:

1. While the steak and potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Remove from heat and set aside.

4. Combine and Serve:

1. Once the steak and potatoes are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl.
2. Pour the garlic butter sauce over the steak bites and potatoes, tossing gently to coat evenly.
3. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Tips for Perfect Steak Bites and Potatoes:

• Steak Choice: Choose a tender cut of steak like sirloin or ribeye for the best results.
• Even Cooking: Make sure the steak and potatoes are cut into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
• Garlic Butter: Adjust the amount of garlic according to your taste. Fresh garlic adds a great flavor, but garlic powder can be used in a pinch.
