Instructions

Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) to warm up while you prepare the ingredients.
Prepare and season potatoes: In a medium bowl, toss the baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, smoked paprika, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
Cook potatoes initially: Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Season steak bites: While the potatoes cook, season the steak cubes with salt and black pepper, then toss them with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the minced garlic.
Add steak to air fryer: After the potatoes have cooked for 10 minutes, add the steak bites to the basket with the potatoes, spreading everything out evenly for proper air flow.
Cook steak and potatoes together: Continue air frying for an additional 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the steak is browned and cooked to your desired doneness and the potatoes are tender.
Finish and serve: Remove the steak and potatoes from the air fryer, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately. Optionally, toss with melted garlic butter or provide a dipping sauce for added flavor.

Notes

For extra flavor, toss the cooked steak and potatoes in melted garlic butter just before serving.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steak reaches your preferred level of doneness for optimal results.
This recipe works best with tender cuts of steak such as sirloin, ribeye, or New York strip for the best texture and flavor.
