Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Potatoes
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- 1 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Begin by heating a skillet over medium heat and adding 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the halved or quartered baby potatoes. Season them with salt and pepper, and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set them aside.
- Cook the Steak Bites: In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter. Once the butter is melted and the pan is hot, add the bite-sized sirloin steak pieces. Season with salt, pepper, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Cook the steak bites for about 3-4 minutes per side until they are browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
- Add Garlic for Flavor: Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the minced garlic to the steak in the skillet. Stir constantly to avoid burning, cooking for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and infused into the butter and steak bites.
- Combine Potatoes and Steak: Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet and toss everything together gently to coat the potatoes and steak bites evenly with the garlic butter sauce and herbs.
- Final Touch and Serve: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finish. Serve hot, directly from the skillet for a rustic presentation and maximum flavor enjoyment.
Notes
- Use sirloin or any other tender cut like ribeye for best results.
- To ensure potatoes cook evenly, cut them into similar-sized pieces.
- Adjust cooking times depending on your preferred steak doneness.
- Fresh herbs can be used instead of dried if preferred—reduce amounts by half.
- For a crispier texture, pat potatoes dry before cooking and avoid overcrowding the pan.
