Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Potatoes
- 1 lb. Yukon Gold potatoes, diced into ½-inch cubes (or red-skinned or fingerling potatoes)
- 1½ lbs. sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes (or beef tenderloin, NY strip steak, or stir fry meat)
Seasonings and Butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided (½ stick)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp ground pepper
- Freshly chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat the skillet: Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter, allowing the butter to melt completely.
- Cook the potatoes: Add the diced potatoes, minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried oregano, kosher salt, and ground pepper to the skillet. Cook undisturbed for about 4 minutes, then stir and continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender. Remove the potatoes from the pan and set them aside in a bowl.
- Cook the steak bites: Return the skillet to the stove and increase the heat to high. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and stir to melt. Place the steak cubes in a single layer in the skillet and cook for 1 minute without moving. Flip or stir the steak bites and cook for another 1-2 minutes until they reach your preferred doneness. Remove the skillet from heat.
- Toss potatoes and steak: Add the cooked potatoes back into the skillet with the steak bites and gently toss everything together. Adjust salt and pepper as needed.
- Garnish and serve: Top the dish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your garlic butter steak bites and potatoes!
Notes
- Use a cast iron skillet for best results as it retains heat well for searing.
- For a different flavor profile, try substituting rosemary and oregano with thyme or smoked paprika.
- Ensure potatoes are diced evenly for uniform cooking.
- Adjust steak cooking time based on thickness and desired doneness.
- Fresh parsley is optional but adds a nice color and freshness to the dish.
