Air Fryer Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes
Ingredients
3 large potatoes
olive oil + salt pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried parsley (for potatoes)
2 Steaks – I used 10 ounce strip steaks
Olive Oil
Salt pepper, & garlic powder
Steak Seasoning I like using Kinder’s Prime Steak Seasoning
4 TBSP of butter
1 tsp of minced garlic
1 tsp of dried parsley
Instructions
Wash your potatoes and cut up into small cubes
Toss them in olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, and dried parsley (I don’t use exact measurements for this part)
Cook your potatoes in the air fryer at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes shaking them around at least a couple times while they cook
Once the potatoes are cooking, cut your steak into about 1 inch cubes
Coat the steak bites in olive oil and salt, pepper, garlic powder, and steak seasoning
Once the potatoes are cooked set them aside
Cook steak bites in the air fryer at 400 degrees for about 7 minutes (this got mine about medium)
Melt your butter and stir in minced garlic and dried parsley
Pour the garlic butter over steak bites and serve over the crispy potatoes.
To store Air Fryer Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes:
- Cool Completely: Let the steak bites and potatoes cool to room temperature before storing to prevent condensation and sogginess.
- Airtight Container: Place the cooled steak and potatoes in an airtight container. This helps maintain their freshness and prevents them from drying out.
- Refrigeration: Store the container in the refrigerator. The meal will stay fresh for up to 3-4 days.
- Freezing: For longer storage, you can freeze the steak bites and potatoes. Place them in a freezer-safe bag or container, separating layers with parchment paper if needed. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.
- Reheating: When ready to eat, reheat in the air fryer or oven for best results, which will help retain the crispiness. You can also reheat in a microwave, but it may not keep the same texture.
Following these steps will help preserve the taste and texture of your meal.
