Instructions:
1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Start by prepping the potatoes. Wash and peel (if desired), then cut them into bite-sized cubes.
- In a large bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Make sure they’re evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Air fry the potatoes for about 10 minutes, then shake the basket to ensure they cook evenly. Continue to air fry for another 10-12 minutes or until 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 olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Heat a small pan over medium heat and melt the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Transfer the seasoned steak bites to the pan, and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re browned on all sides. You want the steak to be cooked to your desired level of doneness.
- Once cooked, remove the steak bites from the heat and toss them in the garlic butter mixture.
3. Combine Everything:
- Once both the potatoes and steak bites are cooked, combine them in the air fryer basket. If necessary, you can give the potatoes another quick toss to ensure they’re well-coated with the garlic butter flavor.
- Air fry everything together for an additional 3-5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
4. Garnish and Serve:
- When the potatoes and steak bites are ready, remove them from the air fryer. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the crispy, savory goodness of your Air Fryer Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes!
Tips for the Perfect Air Fryer Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes:
- Cutting Evenly: To ensure that both the steak and potatoes cook evenly, try to cut everything into uniform-sized pieces.
- Season to Taste: Adjust the seasoning according to your preference. You can add more garlic or even some red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat.
- Different Potatoes: While this recipe calls for standard potatoes, you can also use baby potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes for a different texture and flavor.
- Steak Options: Ribeye and sirloin work great, but you can use any cut of steak you prefer. Just make sure to cut them into bite-sized pieces for easy cooking and eating.
Why Air Frying?
Using an air fryer for this recipe offers several benefits:
- Faster Cooking: The air fryer circulates hot air around the food, cooking everything faster than traditional methods like pan frying or baking.
- Crispier Results: Air frying gives the potatoes a crispy outer layer while keeping them tender on the inside, and it ensures the steak bites are perfectly seared.
- Healthier Cooking: By using less oil than traditional frying methods, the air fryer creates a healthier dish without sacrificing flavor.
