Ingredients

Scale

Steak Bites

1 pound sirloin steak, cubed
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Potatoes

1 pound baby potatoes, halved
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste

Garlic Butter Sauce

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced

Garnish

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to fully heat up for optimal cooking.
Season the steak bites: In a bowl, mix the cubed sirloin steak with paprika, salt, and black pepper until all pieces are evenly coated.
Prepare the potatoes: In another bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of melted butter and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook the steak bites: Arrange the seasoned steak cubes in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook for 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even browning.
Remove steak and set aside: Once cooked, take the steak bites out of the air fryer and keep them aside temporarily.
Cook the potatoes: Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote crispiness.
Make the garlic butter sauce: While the potatoes cook, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a small pan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Combine and finish cooking: Put the steak bites back into the air fryer basket with the cooked potatoes. Drizzle the garlic butter over the top and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors together perfectly.
Serve: Remove everything from the air fryer, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve hot for a savory and satisfying meal.

Notes

For best results, make sure to cut steak into even-sized cubes for uniform cooking.
If your air fryer is small, cook the steak and potatoes in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can prevent proper browning.
Use fresh garlic for the best flavor in the garlic butter sauce; you can reduce or increase garlic quantity based on your preference.
Feel free to substitute baby potatoes with fingerling or red potatoes if preferred.
Let steak bites rest for a few minutes after cooking if you want them juicier.
