3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Perfect Garlic Butter Beef & Potatoes

Prepare the Potatoes

Start by peeling and dicing the potatoes into uniform pieces. Toss them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika if desired. Preheat your air fryer (or oven) and roast the potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes until crispy and golden. An air fryer works beautifully for achieving crispy potatoes without deep frying.

Cook the Beef Bites

While the potatoes are roasting, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef pieces, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. If you prefer, you can also cook the beef in a slow cooker for effortless tenderness. For a slow cooker beef recipe, simply transfer the beef and seasonings into the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours until tender.

Prepare the Garlic Butter

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour the garlic butter over the cooked beef bites and roasted potatoes. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.

Combine and Garnish

Transfer the beef bites and potatoes to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a vibrant finishing touch. Drizzle any remaining garlic butter over the top for enhanced flavor.

4. Storage Tips for Leftover Garlic Butter Beef and Potatoes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, microwave or warm in a skillet over low heat until heated through. For best results, reheat in an air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes to maintain crispy potatoes. This dish can also be frozen in portions for later use.

5. Serving Suggestions for Your Garlic Butter Beef

This flavorful beef dish pairs beautifully with steamed vegetables, a fresh green salad, or even a side of buttered rice. For more breakfast or brunch ideas, consider serving it alongside fluffy breakfast rolls for a hearty morning meal.

6. Delicious Variations and Customizations

  • Add vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or green beans for extra nutrition.
  • Include a splash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce for an umami boost.

7. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I use chicken instead of beef?

Absolutely! Chicken breast or thighs make a great substitute. Adjust cooking times accordingly to ensure chicken is fully cooked.

What are some substitutions for garlic butter?

If you’re dairy-free or prefer a different flavor, use olive oil or a dairy-free alternative to butter, and add herbs like thyme or oregano for aroma.
