Garlic Butter Steak Potatoes (Printer-Friendly Version)

Juicy garlic butter steak bites combined with crispy air-fried potatoes for a satisfying meal.

# Ingredients Needed:

→ Steak Bites

01 - 1 pound ribeye, New York strip, or sirloin steak, well-marbled, cut into 1 to 1.5 inch cubes
02 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
03 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
04 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
06 - 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

→ Potatoes

07 - 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks
08 - 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
09 - 1 teaspoon seasoned salt

→ Garlic Butter Sauce

10 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
11 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - In a mixing bowl, toss steak cubes with olive oil, soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Coat evenly and let rest at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes.
02 - Rinse peeled potato chunks under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat completely dry with paper towels. Toss potatoes in olive oil and seasoned salt until evenly coated.
03 - Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Arrange potatoes in a single layer and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking basket every 5 minutes to ensure even browning and crispiness.
04 - Heat a cast iron or heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add marinated steak bites in a single layer and sear without moving for 2 to 3 minutes to develop a crust. Flip and cook to desired doneness.
05 - During the last minute of cooking steak, add butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Swirl to melt butter and infuse garlic fragrance, spooning sauce over steak bites.
06 - Arrange crispy potatoes on a serving platter. Top with hot garlic butter steak bites and drizzle remaining sauce over all. Serve immediately.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - Dry potatoes thoroughly before air frying to maximize crispness.
02 - Rest steak bites briefly after searing to retain juices.
03 - Spoon garlic butter over steak off heat to prevent garlic from burning.
