Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and cut your potatoes into small, even cubes. Toss them in olive oil and season generously
with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried parsley. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
2. Cook the Potatoes
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer
in the air fryer basket and cook for about 20 minutes, shaking the basket a few times
during cooking for even crispiness.
3. Prep the Steak Bites
While the potatoes cook, cut your strip steaks into 1-inch cubes. Toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper,
garlic powder, and steak seasoning.
4. Cook 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 (200°C) for 7 minutes for medium doneness,
adjusting as needed.
5. Make the Garlic Butter
Melt the butter in a small bowl. Stir in the minced garlic and dried parsley to create a flavorful sauce.
6. Assemble and Serve
Once the steak bites are cooked, drizzle the garlic butter over the hot steak cubes. Serve the steak bites
over the crispy potatoes and enjoy!
Tips for Success
- Cut your potatoes and steak into evenly sized pieces for even cooking.
- Shake the air fryer basket while cooking the potatoes for crispiness.
