🥔 Air Fryer Garlic Butter Steak & Potato Foil Packets

A hearty, one-basket meal that’s simple, satisfying, and full of flavor.

🧂 Ingredients

1 lb (450g) sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 lb (450g) baby potatoes, halved
2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp dried thyme or rosemary
Salt & black pepper to taste
2 tbsp melted butter (for finishing)
Chopped parsley for garnish

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat Air Fryer

Set to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes.

2️⃣ Prep the Ingredients

In a bowl, toss steak cubes and potatoes with olive oil, garlic, paprika, herbs, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

3️⃣ Assemble the Foil Packets

Divide the mixture evenly among 4 pieces of foil (about 10×10 inches each).
Fold the sides up to form a sealed packet.

4️⃣ Air Fry

Place the foil packets in the basket in a single layer.
Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 18–22 minutes, shaking halfway through.
Carefully open one packet to check doneness — steak should be browned and potatoes fork-tender.

5️⃣ Finish & Serve

Drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle with parsley before serving.

💡 Tips

💡 Cut potatoes small so they cook evenly with the steak.
💡 For extra flavor, add sliced onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
💡 Love it spicy? Add a pinch of chili flakes or Cajun seasoning.
