- 1/2 lbs russet or yellow potatoes
- 1 1/2 tsp vegetable oil
- Kosher salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 2 thin (⅜-inch-thick) boneless top sirloin steaks

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Cut the potatoes into ¼-inch sticks; soak in water for 10 minutes. Drain and pat dry. Toss the potatoes with the oil and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
-
Step 2.
Heat the air fryer to 375°F. Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket and air fry for 15 minutes, shaking the basket twice during cooking.
-
Step 3.
While the potatoes are air frying, combine the mayonnaise, finely chopped shallot, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon water, tarragon, and ⅛ teaspoon pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
-
Step 4.
After the potatoes are done, raise the air fryer temperature to 400°F. Season the steaks with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Air fry the steaks to desired doneness, 6 minutes for medium-rare, turning halfway through. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 2 minutes.
-
Step 5.
While the steaks rest, place the potatoes back in the air fryer basket and air fry at 400°F for 2 minutes to warm. Serve the fries with the steak and mayo, and sprinkle with chopped tarragon.
