Prep the Potatoes (Optional): For faster cook time in the air fryer, consider par-boiling the potatoes. Boil them in salted water for 5 minutes, then drain and cool slightly.
Assemble the Packets:
Cut the steak into bite-sized pieces (adjust size based on desired doneness). In a large bowl, combine steak, potatoes (if par-boiled), onion, olive oil, parsley, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss well. Create the Packets:
Prepare 4 sheets of aluminum foil, at least 12×12 inches each. Divide the steak and potato mixture evenly between the foil sheets. Top each packet with cubed butter. Cooking Options:
Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C). Place the foil packets in the basket and cook for approximately 20 minutes, or until the steak reaches your desired doneness and potatoes are tender. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness after 15 minutes, adjusting cooking time as needed. Grill: Heat your grill to high. Place the packets directly on the grill for 8-10 minutes per side, or until potatoes are tender and steak is cooked through.
Tips:
Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of your steak, the type of air fryer, and the heat of your grill.
Use an air fryer thermometer to monitor the internal temperature of the steak for perfect doneness.
For a bit of char on the steak, carefully open the packets after air frying and broil for 1-2 minutes at the end.
Be cautious when opening the packets, as hot steam and juices will be released.
Enjoy this flavorful and convenient steak and potato meal made in the air fryer!
