Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (from the total 4 cloves)
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp butter (from the total 3 tbsp)
Potatoes
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- 2 tbsp butter (from the total 3 tbsp)
- 1 clove garlic, minced (from the total 4 cloves)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes: Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the halved or quartered baby potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook, turning occasionally, until they are golden and crispy on the outside and tender inside, about 15-20 minutes.
- Cook the steak bites: While the potatoes are cooking, pat the sirloin steak pieces dry with paper towels. In a separate skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites in a single layer and sear until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side depending on size and preferred doneness.
- Add seasoning and garlic: To the steak bites, add the minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Combine with butter: Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the steak skillet and stir to coat the meat in the garlic butter sauce. Let the butter melt and infuse the steak bites with rich flavor.
- Bring it together: Once the potatoes are cooked, you can either leave them in their skillet or add them to the steak skillet and toss gently to combine and reheat together for a minute or two.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish for a fresh finish and serve hot immediately.
Notes
- Use sirloin or any tender cut of beef for best results.
- Pat the steak dry before cooking to achieve better searing.
- Baby potatoes can be substituted with fingerlings or small Yukon Gold potatoes.
- Adjust garlic amount to taste or substitute with garlic powder if preferred.
- Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
