Preparation
  1. Toss halved or quartered baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until cut sides are golden and centers are fork-tender, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. While the potatoes cook, season the sirloin cubes with salt, black pepper, and dried Italian herbs, ensuring all pieces are similar in size.
Cooking the Steak
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil with 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet. Add steak cubes in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until nicely browned.
  2. Lower the heat to medium-low, add the remaining butter and minced garlic, and sauté just until fragrant for about 1 minute.
Combining the Dish
  1. Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet, toss everything to coat in the garlic butter, and cook for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Serving
  1. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately while the potatoes are crispy.

Notes

For best results, cut potatoes for crispness, avoid crowding the steak bites, and add garlic at the end to maintain flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer to retain crispness.
