Ingredients
3 large potatoes
olive oil + salt pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried parsley (for potatoes)
2 Steaks – I used 10 ounce strip steaks
Olive Oil
Salt pepper, & garlic powder
Steak Seasoning I like using Kinder’s Prime Steak Seasoning
4 TBSP of butter
1 tsp of minced garlic
1 tsp of dried parsley
Instructions
1. Wash and dice your potatoes into small cubes.
2. Toss the potato cubes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried parsley.
3. Cook the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 20 minutes, shaking them a few times during cooking.
4. While the potatoes cook, cut your steaks into about 1-inch cubes.
5. Coat the steak cubes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and steak seasoning.
6. Once the potatoes are done, set them aside.
7. Cook the seasoned steak bites in the air fryer at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 7 minutes for medium doneness.
8. Melt the butter in a small pan and stir in the minced garlic and dried parsley.
9. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the cooked steak bites and serve them over the crispy potatoes.
Notes
For the crispiest potatoes, ensure they are cut into uniform-sized cubes so they roast evenly. Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet.
Patting your steak bites dry before seasoning and searing is a vital step for achieving a good crust. Moisture on the surface will prevent proper browning.
Keep a close eye on the garlic when sautéing it; it can go from fragrant to burnt very quickly, which will impart a bitter taste to your sauce.
Always rest your steak, even though these are small bites, allowing them to finish cooking gently in the sauce will ensure maximum tenderness.
Use a heavy-bottomed skillet, like cast iron, for best heat distribution and searing capabilities.
