Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 lb (454 grams) steak (preferably sirloin or ribeye, cut into 1-inch cubes)
Vegetables:
- 1 lb (454 grams) baby potatoes (halved)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (finely chopped)
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Seasonings and Fats:
- 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Set air fryer to 400°F and prepare for a sizzling one-pan meal combining succulent steak and crispy potatoes.
- Marinate steak bites with half the melted butter, rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
- Separately season potato halves with remaining butter, garlic, salt, and pepper, coating thoroughly for maximum flavor infusion.
- Arrange seasoned potato halves in air fryer basket, creating a single layer for even cooking, and roast for 10 minutes until they begin to crisp.
- Carefully add marinated steak bites alongside potatoes, maintaining a single layer to ensure proper browning and prevent overcrowding.
- Continue air frying for 10-12 minutes, gently shaking basket midway to promote uniform caramelization and prevent sticking.
- Verify steak’s doneness by checking internal temperature and achieving a golden-brown exterior with tender, juicy center.
- Transfer completed dish to serving platter, generously sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for vibrant color and aromatic finish.
- Serve immediately while steak bites are hot and potatoes remain crisp, allowing flavors to meld and tantalize taste buds.
Notes
- Maximize flavor by marinating steak bites for 30 minutes before cooking to enhance tenderness and depth of taste.
- Ensure even cooking by cutting steak and potatoes into uniform bite-sized pieces, promoting consistent texture and doneness.
- For a low-carb option, substitute potatoes with cauliflower or turnips to reduce carbohydrate content while maintaining similar roasted texture.
- Try different herb combinations like oregano or basil to customize the dish’s aromatic profile and suit personal preferences.
