Ingredients:

For the Steak Bites:

1 lb sirloin steak (or ribeye), cut into 1-inch cubes

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

For the Potatoes:

1 lb baby potatoes, quartered

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp dried parsley

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

For the Garlic Butter:

3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

1/2 tsp lemon juice (optional, for a hint of brightness)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer:

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

2. Season the Potatoes:

In a mixing bowl, toss the baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper.

3. Cook the Potatoes:

Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.

4. Season the Steak Bites:

While the potatoes are cooking, toss the steak cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.

5. Add the Steak Bites:

After the potatoes have cooked for 10 minutes, push them to one side of the basket. Add the seasoned steak bites to the other side.

Cook for an additional 7-8 minutes, shaking the basket once, until the steak bites are browned and cooked to your desired doneness (medium-rare is 130°F, medium is 140°F).

6. Make the Garlic Butter:

While the steak and potatoes are finishing, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and lemon juice in a small bowl.

7. Toss and Serve:

Once the steak bites and potatoes are done, transfer them to a serving bowl. Drizzle the garlic butter over the top and toss gently to coat.

Serve immediately with a side of your favorite dipping sauce or a crisp salad.
