Ingredients
Units
Scale
Steak Bites
- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Potatoes
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 3 tbsp butter, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Prepare potatoes: In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the halved or quartered baby potatoes and season them with salt, pepper, dried rosemary, and dried thyme. Cook the potatoes for about 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are fork-tender and have developed a golden, crispy exterior. Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the skillet and set them aside.
- Sear steak: Using the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt. Add the sirloin steak bites in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan to allow for proper searing. Cook the steak bites for 2 to 3 minutes per side until they are nicely browned and cooked to your preferred level of doneness. Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set them aside with the potatoes.
- Make garlic butter: Reduce the heat to low, and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet along with the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the garlic becomes fragrant and slightly golden but not burnt.
- Combine & serve: Return the cooked steak bites and potatoes to the skillet with the garlic butter sauce. Toss everything gently so that the steak and potatoes are evenly coated with the garlic butter. Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm for a delicious, hearty meal.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can parboil the potatoes for 5 minutes before sautéing.
- Adjust cooking time of steak bites depending on desired doneness.
- Use fresh herbs if available for a more vibrant flavor.
- Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently in a skillet.
