Choose to dine-in with this date-night worthy dinner that is so simple to prepare. The air fryer takes care of the tender and juicy Strip Loin Steak, cooked to your liking, while the fries bake in the oven. All served with a bistro-inspired homemade aioli! Wine anyone? Time saver tip: substitute fresh-cut potato with 8 oz (250 g) frozen fries (about 2 cups/500 mL) and serve with a store-bought aioli or garlic mayonnaise.

1. Oven-Roasted Frites: Cut potato lengthwise into ½-inch (1 cm) thick slices. Place slices cut-side down and cut into thin sticks, about ¼ inch (5 mm) thick. Toss with oil, salt and pepper in a medium bowl and arrange in single layer on parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet. Roast fries in preheated 425°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown around the edges with a tender center. Sprinkle Parmesan and thyme (if using) over fries. 2. Air-fryer Steak: Meanwhile, pat steak dry with paper towel; rub with oil and season all over with coarse pepper and salt. Place steak in basket of air fryer and cook at 400°F (200°C) for 8 to 10 minutes or until a digital instant-read thermometer inserted sideways into centre of steak reads 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare doneness at the least (or 160°F/71°C for medium, or 170°F/77°C for well-done). Transfer to cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. 3. Garlic Aioli: Meanwhile, combine mayonnaise, olive oil, Parmesan, lemon zest, lemon juice, thyme and garlic in a small bowl. 4. Slice steak across the grain and serve with Oven-roasted Frites and Garlic Aioli for dipping.
