Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Potatoes
- 1 ½ pounds boneless ribeye steaks, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 6 gold Yukon potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 3 Tablespoons salted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Start by rinsing the Yukon potatoes and cutting them into bite-sized pieces. Toss them in a bowl with half the olive oil, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper to ensure they’re seasoned well for air frying.
- Air Fry the Potatoes: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C). Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for about 10-12 minutes, shaking halfway through to promote even crisping.
- Prepare the Steak: While the potatoes cook, cut the ribeye steak into bite-sized pieces if not already done. In a bowl, toss the steak pieces with the remaining half of olive oil, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Air Fry the Steak Bites: Once the potatoes are done, remove them and set aside. Add the steak bites to the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook at 400°F (204°C) for 6-8 minutes, shaking halfway until the steak is browned but still tender inside.
- Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: While the steak is air frying, melt the salted butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Remove from heat and stir in the fresh chopped parsley.
- Combine and Serve: Place the cooked steak bites and potatoes in a large serving bowl. Pour the garlic butter sauce over the top and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately for a scrumptious, hearty meal.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure steak bites reach an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare.
- You can substitute ribeye with sirloin or other tender cuts.
- Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the garlic butter sauce for a bright finish if desired.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
