INSTRUCTIONS

STEP

Season & air-fry the potatoes — Cube potatoes, toss with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and cumin. Air fry at 200°C / 400°F for 18–22 min, single layer, shaking halfway, until crispy.

STEP

Cube & season the steak — Cube the steak into 1-inch bites and toss with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, and chilli flakes.

STEP

Sear the steak bites — Heat a pan hot with avocado oil. Sear the bites in a single layer, undisturbed, for a crust, to your preferred doneness.

STEP

Glaze the bites — Reduce heat to low, add butter and garlic, and toss 60–90 seconds until glossy. Set aside.

STEP

Make the nacho cheese sauce — Warm the Greek yogurt and mayonnaise over low heat. Stir in American cheese until melted and smooth, then jalapeño juice, paprika, and salt to taste.

STEP

Assemble — Pile the crispy potatoes into 5 containers, top with steak bites, drizzle generously with nacho cheese sauce, and finish with pickled jalapeños and green onion. Enjoy!

HOW TO REHEAT

Air Fryer: 4–5 minutes at 180°C / 360°F to re-crisp the potatoes, then add the sauce. Microwave: 2 minutes covered — note this softens the potatoes. Store nacho cheese separately, drizzle after.

PRO TIPS

Sear the bites in a hot, uncrowded pan for a crust — a crowded pan steams them gray.
Keep the nacho cheese in its own container and the potatoes crispy; drizzle after reheating (microwave softens potatoes, so use the air fryer to re-crisp).
Dial the heat with the pickled jalapeño and jalapeño juice — more for a kick, less for mild.
