Ingredients
Steak Bites:
- 1 lb sirloin Steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Air Fryer Potatoes:
- 3 medium baking Potatoes, cubed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika (optional for flavor enhancement)
Optional Ingredients for Flavor Enhancement:
- Fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme

Instructions
1. Cutting steak for air fryer: Begin by slicing your steak into bite-sized pieces, aiming for uniform steak bite sizes to ensure even cooking. Cube the steak into 1-inch pieces for even cooking. For potatoes, cubing them similarly ensures they cook at the same rate. This is crucial for preparing steak for air frying and cubing potatoes efficiently.
2. Preparing potatoes: Next, dice your potatoes into small, even pieces. This helps them cook thoroughly alongside the steak.
3. Remember, uniformity in cubed steak and diced potatoes is key for steak bites and potatoes preparation.
4. In a large bowl, combine your steak and potatoes. Add extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic cloves, and your choice of fresh herbs to the bowl. Salt and pepper to taste.
5. Ensure each piece is well-coated with the steak bites seasoning mix and potato seasoning for optimal flavor.
6. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. This step is crucial for achieving crispy steak bites and golden potatoes.
7. Cook the steak bites: Place them in the air fryer basket and cook for about 10 minutes for medium-rare. For cooking steak bites and potatoes in air fryer, it’s best to cook them separately for even doneness.
8. Cook the potatoes: After removing the steak, add the potatoes to the air fryer. Cook for 10 minutes, or until they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness levels; steak bites are best enjoyed medium-rare to medium.
9. Once cooked, transfer to a serving dish.
10. While your steak and potatoes are cooking, start on the garlic butter sauce recipe. Melt butter in a small pan over low heat.
11. Add minced garlic and a selection of finely chopped herbs to the melted butter, cooking until fragrant.
12. Mix in finely chopped herbs, such as parsley or thyme, for added flavor profiles.
13. Toss the cooked steak bites in the garlic herb butter to coat them evenly. This step significantly enhances steak flavor.
Notes
Let the steak bites rest for a few minutes after cooking before tossing them in the garlic herb butter. This helps them to absorb the flavors better and ensures they’re juicy.
