Here’s a delicious and easy recipe for Air Fryer Garlic Butter Steak Bites & Potatoes:
Air Fryer Garlic Butter Steak Bites & Potatoes 🥩🥔
Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
Steak Bites:
- 1 lb (450 g) sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp olive oil
Potatoes:
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
Garlic Butter:
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Prepare the Potatoes
- Toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Cook the potatoes in the air fryer for 12–15 minutes, shaking halfway through, until golden and tender.
2. Prepare the Steak Bites
- While potatoes cook, season steak cubes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Toss with 1 tsp olive oil to coat.
3. Air Fry the Steak
- After the potatoes are done, remove and keep warm.
- Place steak bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket (you may need to do this in batches).
- Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 6–8 minutes, shaking or flipping halfway, until browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
4. Make Garlic Butter
- In a small pan or microwave-safe bowl, melt butter.
- Stir in minced garlic and cook briefly until fragrant (about 30 seconds in the microwave or 1 minute in a pan).
- Add chopped parsley.
5. Combine & Serve
- Toss steak bites with garlic butter.
- Serve with roasted potatoes on the side.
- Optional: drizzle a little extra garlic butter over the potatoes for extra flavor.
Tips
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer; steak bites need space to sear properly.
- Rest steak bites for 2–3 minutes after cooking to retain juices.
- You can add vegetables like bell peppers or asparagus to the air fryer for a full meal.
If you want, I can also make a 5-minute Air Fryer Hack Version that cooks the steak and potatoes together for an even faster weeknight dinner.
