Ingredients You Need

• Boneless ribeye steaks, cut into bite-sized pieces – These juicy little nuggets of ribeye are the star of the show, giving you that melt-in-your-mouth goodness with every bite.
• Gold Yukon potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces – Yukon potatoes bring a creamy texture and their golden perfection pairs perfectly with the steak.
• Olive oil – A splash of olive oil keeps everything crisp and prevents those tasty bites from sticking to your air fryer.
• Kosher salt – Kosher salt enhances all the flavors, making sure your steak bites and potatoes are anything but bland.
• Fresh cracked black pepper – Freshly cracked black pepper adds a touch of heat and a whole lot of gentle, spicy goodness to each bite.
• Smoked paprika – Smoked paprika gives a smoky, slightly spicy kick.
• Salted butter – Rich, salted butter melts over the steak and potatoes, creating a luscious, mouthwatering finish.
• Garlic, minced – Garlic infuses the dish with its aromatic magic!
• Fresh chopped parsley – A sprinkle of fresh parsley adds a pop of color and a hint of freshness that takes this dish over the top.

How to Make Air Fryer Garlic Steak Bites and Potatoes

1. Prep the Beef and Potatoes. Add the steak, potatoes, oil, salt, pepper, and paprika to a large bowl and combine until the beef and potatoes are coated. 
2. Cook the Beef and Potatoes. Place all the steak and potatoes in the air fryer basket and cook until heated, tossing halfway through the cooking process.
3. Make the Sauce. Add butter to a preheated pan and melt it before adding the garlic to saute. Then sprinkle in the parsley. 
4. Combine. When the steak and potatoes are finished cooking, transfer them to the pan of garlic butter sauce and heat briefly while ensuring the beef and potatoes are coated. 
5. Serve. Serve this dish immediately on its own or with a side of veggies or over pasta. 

Variations

• Swap ribeye for sirloin – If you’re feeling fancy, try using sirloin for a leaner but still flavorful twist on the classic.
• Sweet potatoes instead of Yukon potatoes – For a touch of sweetness and extra nutrients, sweet potatoes are a fabulous alternative.
• Add some veggies – Throw in some bell peppers or zucchini for a pop of color and extra crunch.
• Spice it up with chili powder – Want more heat? A dash of chili powder will give your dish a fiery kick.
• Use rosemary instead of parsley – Fresh rosemary brings a fragrant, earthy note that’s simply divine.
• Lemon zest – A sprinkle of lemon zest brightens up the dish with a zesty freshness.
• Truffle oil finish – Drizzle a bit of truffle oil at the end for an indulgent, upscale touch.
• Parmesan cheese – A dusting of grated parmesan adds a savory, cheesy layer that’s absolutely irresistible.
• Balsamic glaze drizzle – For a sweet and tangy twist, finish with a drizzle of tangy, sweet balsamic glaze.

Can I Store Leftovers? 

You can absolutely store leftovers of this simple recipe! It’s a great way to prep meals for the week — store it in individual servings or all together and reheat in the oven or air fryer for the crispiest results. You can also microwave, but if it won’t retain that crispy texture. 

Refrigerate the steak and potatoes for up to 3 days in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag. 

For longer storage, keep the steak and potatoes in the freezer for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container or a freezer bag.
