Air Fryer Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes

### Instructions:

#### Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
1. **Season the Potatoes**: In a mixing bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, rosemary, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.
2. **Preheat the Air Fryer**: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the potatoes cook evenly and get nice and crispy.
3. **Cook the Potatoes**: Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 15-18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The potatoes should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, while tender on the inside.

#### Step 2: Prepare the Steak Bites
1. **Season the Steak**: While the potatoes are cooking, season the steak cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to ensure the steak is well-coated with the seasoning.
2. **Cook the Steak Bites**: Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the air fryer and set them aside. Add the steak bites to the air fryer basket. Cook the steak bites at 400°F (200°C) for 7-9 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. The steak should be cooked to your desired level of doneness—around 7 minutes for medium-rare.

#### Step 3: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
1. **Melt the Butter**: While the steak and potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave.
2. **Add Garlic**: Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic to the butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
3. **Finish the Sauce**: Stir in the lemon juice (if using) and fresh parsley. The garlic butter sauce will be ready to drizzle over the steak bites and potatoes.

#### Step 4: Combine and Serve
1. **Toss with Garlic Butter**: Once both the steak bites and potatoes are cooked, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the garlic butter sauce over the steak bites and potatoes, tossing gently to coat everything evenly.
2. **Garnish and Serve**: For an extra burst of freshness, sprinkle additional chopped parsley over the top before serving.

### Tips for the Perfect Air Fryer Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes:
– **Customize the Seasonings**: Feel free to adjust the spices to your taste. You can add a pinch of chili flakes for heat, or use herbs like thyme or oregano for a different flavor profile.
– **Cook Time Adjustments**: Depending on the size of your steak bites and potato cubes, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly. Always check the doneness of your steak and the crispiness of your potatoes to ensure they’re cooked to perfection.
– **One Pan Meal**: If you want to make this even easier, you can cook both the potatoes and steak bites together in the air fryer by adding the steak bites halfway through the potatoes’ cooking time. Just make sure there’s enough space in the basket for the air to circulate properly.
– **Dipping Sauce**: Serve with a side of your favorite dipping sauce, like ranch or blue cheese, for extra flavor.
