Incredibly Crispy Air Fryer French Fries and Quick Onion Steak

Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks. For extra crispiness, cut them thinner; for a traditional cut, cut them thicker.

Season the potatoes in the bowl with paprika and add the cornstarch (about two tablespoons), mixing well with your hands until all pieces are coated.

Add a drizzle of olive oil to the already seasoned potatoes and mix again.

Transfer the potatoes to the air fryer and cook for 15 minutes, shaking or flipping occasionally.

After the initial time, sprinkle the potatoes with salt and pepper (if desired) on top.

For the steak and onions, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet (use high heat initially) and add the garlic cut into four pieces.

Season the sirloin/top round steaks with grilling salt. Score the fat edge to prevent the meat from curling.

Sear the steaks over high heat for about two minutes per side to promote the Maillard reaction (caramelization).

After searing and the water has evaporated, reduce the heat and place the onion cut into rings on top of the steak to finish cooking and lightly sauté.

Remove the potatoes from the air fryer and serve immediately with the steak and onions.
