- Reliable and easy: Cooking your steak in the air fryer is a great way to ensure that it’s juicy and cooked to perfection every time–never dry or tough!
Ingredients You Will Need
- Steak: Sirloin and ribeye are usually my picks for this recipe, but feel free to go for something like flank steak or skirt steak if you want a slightly less pricey option.
- Potatoes: I like to use baby yellow potatoes for a smooth and buttery interior with that nice crispy air fried exterior.
- Seasonings: Aside from garlic, you’ll just need salt and pepper and some fresh rosemary and thyme.

How to Make Air Fryer Steak and Potatoes
Step 1: Make oil mixture. In a mixing bowl, combine the oil with the seasonings and herbs.
Step 2: Season potatoes. Add half of the olive oil to a mixing bowl with the potatoes and toss to coat.
Step 3: Season steak. In another bowl, toss the steak with the rest of the oil until well coated.
Step 4: Air fry. Cook the potatoes for 8 minutes, then add the steak for another 5 (or until desired doneness).
Recipe FAQs
Yep, as long as you fully cook the steak there’s no risk when it comes to air fryer raw meat!
If you’re worried about the steak not being quite done, use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temp of at least 165 degrees (or your preferred temperature). Luckily, steak bites aren’t super thick, so you won’t really have to worry about them being raw in the middle.
If you have leftovers, transfer them to an airtight container and store in the fridge for around 3 days or in the freezer for a couple of months.
You can microwave your steak bites if you need them hot again in a pinch, but I recommend popping them back in the air fryer at 350. If you’re reheating frozen leftovers, let them thaw in the fridge first.
