Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 1 pound Sirloin steak (Substitute ribeye for a more indulgent option.)
- 1 teaspoon Salt (Adjust according to taste.)
- 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper (Use more for an extra kick.)
Potatoes
- 1 pound Gold potatoes (Sweet potatoes can be used as an alternative.)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (Substitute with avocado oil if preferred.)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika (Using smoked paprika intensifies the taste.)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder (Can be omitted if using fresh garlic.)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
Garlic Butter Sauce and Garnish
- 3 tablespoons Butter (Melted butter brings everything together.)
- 3 cloves Garlic (Fresh garlic elevates the flavor, minced)
- Pinch of Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (Chopped for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Steak and Potatoes: Cube the sirloin steak into 1-inch pieces and dice the gold potatoes into small chunks, ensuring even sizes for consistent cooking.
- Season Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly until each piece is well coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for optimal cooking results.
- Cook Potatoes: Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking or tossing the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- Season Steak: While the potatoes cook, season the cubed steak evenly with salt and black pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Cook Steak: After the potatoes finish, add the seasoned steak cubes to the air fryer basket and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, ensuring the steak is cooked to your preferred doneness.
- Prepare Garlic Butter Sauce: Melt the butter in a small bowl and stir in the minced garlic along with a pinch of salt, allowing the flavors to meld while the steak finishes cooking.
- Combine and Serve: Transfer the cooked steak and potatoes to a serving bowl. Drizzle the garlic butter sauce over the top and toss gently to coat evenly.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately, optionally adding a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
Notes
- For a richer steak flavor, substitute sirloin with ribeye steak.
- Sweet potatoes can be used instead of gold potatoes for a slightly sweeter taste and different texture.
- Smoked paprika adds a deeper smoky flavor; regular paprika works well too.
- Omit garlic powder if using fresh garlic in the butter sauce.
- Adjust salt and pepper quantities according to personal preference.
- Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
- Use freshly chopped parsley to garnish for the best flavor and appearance.
- Serving immediately ensures the steak bites remain juicy and potatoes stay crispy.
