Air Fryer Marie Callender's Steak and Roasted Potatoes

Air Fryer Marie Callender's Steak and Roasted Potatoes

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 30-35 minutes

Total Time: 35-40 minutes

Servings: 1 meal

Ingredients:

• 1 frozen Marie Callender's Steak and Roasted Potatoes entree (includes steak slices, roasted potatoes, gravy, and vegetables).

• Optional: Fresh rosemary, cracked black pepper, or a drizzle of garlic butter for garnish.

Equipment:

• Air fryer (large enough to fit the container).

• Meat thermometer (optional, for checking the steak’s internal temperature).

• Oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves.

• Tongs or a heat-resistant spoon.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer:

   • Set your air fryer to 350°F (177°C).

   • Allow it to preheat for 3-5 minutes to ensure even heating.

   
   

2. Prepare the Frozen Meal:

   • Remove the Steak and Roasted Potatoes entree from its box.

   • Leave the plastic film intact but pierce it in 5-7 spots with a fork or knife to allow steam to escape.

   
   

3. Place the Meal in the Air Fryer Basket:

   • Position the container flat in the air fryer basket. Ensure it is stable to prevent spilling the gravy.

   • If the container doesn’t fit, transfer the meal to an air fryer-safe or oven-safe dish and cover loosely with foil.

   
   

4. Cook the Meal:

   • Set the timer for 30 minutes.

   • At the 15-minute mark, pause the air fryer. Carefully remove the basket and stir the roasted potatoes and vegetables to ensure even heating. Spoon some gravy over the steak to keep it moist.

   • Re-cover loosely with the pierced film or foil and return to the air fryer.

   
   

5. Check for Doneness:

   • After 25 minutes, use a meat thermometer to check the steak slices. They should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

   • If needed, cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring the sides occasionally.

   
   

6. Optional Step for Crispy Potatoes:

   • For a crispy finish on the roasted potatoes, transfer them directly to the air fryer basket during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Increase the temperature to 375°F (190°C) for this step.

   • Stir the steak and vegetables again to keep them warm.

   
   

7. Serve Your Meal:

   • Carefully remove the container or dish from the air fryer using oven mitts.

   • Plate the steak slices with roasted potatoes, vegetables, and gravy. Garnish with fresh rosemary, cracked black pepper, or a drizzle of garlic butter for added flavor.

Tips for Success:

• Enhance the Flavor: Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice over the steak for extra zest.

• Customize the Dish: Pair with a side of steamed asparagus or sautéed mushrooms for a complete meal.

• Monitor Cooking Times: Adjust the cooking time slightly depending on your air fryer model.

FAQ:

Can I cook multiple meals at once?

It’s best to cook one meal at a time for even heating and crispy potatoes.

What if the potatoes aren’t fully cooked?

Stir the potatoes and return them to the air fryer for an additional 3-5 minutes.

Can I enhance the steak?

Yes! Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze or a dash of steak seasoning for a gourmet touch. Air Fryer Marie Callender's Steak and Roasted Potatoes
