Looking for an effortless dinner solution? Try this easy air fryer recipe for garlic butter steak and potatoes! With just a few simple steps, you can whip up a delicious meal in no time.

Can you cook steak and potatoes together in the air fryer?

Yes, the air fryer is perfect for one pan meals, and steak and potatoes cook brilliantly together. Just chop the potatoes small enough to cook through, and add the steak partway to ensure everything is ready at the same time.

What cut of steak works best in the air fryer?

Sirloin, ribeye, rump, or fillet all work well in the air fryer. Choose a cut that’s at least 2–3cm thick so it stays juicy inside while crisping nicely on the outside.

How long should steak be cooked in the air fryer?

Depending on thickness and preference, cook steak at 200°C for 7–12 minutes, turning halfway. Reduce time for medium-rare and increase slightly for well done.

How do I keep steak juicy in the air fryer?

Let the steak rest after cooking, ideally for 5 minutes, and add a generous knob of garlic butter while it rests to lock in flavour and moisture.

Should I pre-cook the potatoes before air frying with steak?

No pre-cooking is needed, but cut baby potatoes into quarters or small cubes so they become crispy and tender in 15–20 minutes. You can start them first, then add steak later.

Do I need to flip the steak in the air fryer?

Yes, flipping the steak halfway helps it cook evenly on both sides and develop that lovely golden crust.

Is this a healthy one pan meal?

Yes — it’s protein-packed, low in processed ingredients, and made using minimal oil thanks to the air fryer. You can also add vegetables like green beans or peppers for extra nutrition.

Can I add other ingredients to this dish?

Absolutely. Try adding asparagus, mushrooms, or onions to the basket for a complete air fryer one pan meal.

Can I prepare garlic butter at home?

Yes — simply mix softened butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt. You can make a batch and store it in the fridge or freezer.

How do I know when my steak is done in the air fryer?

Use a meat thermometer if you have one. For medium-rare, aim for 55–57°C, medium is around 60–63°C, and well done is 70°C+. Otherwise, judge by touch and timing.
