Ingredients
Steak and Potatoes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter (divided, ½ stick)
- 1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, diced into ½-inch cubes (or red-skinned or fingerling potatoes)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- 1½ lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes (or beef tenderloin, NY strip steak, or stir fry meat)
Garnish
- Freshly chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Heat Skillet and Melt Butter: Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter, allowing the butter to melt completely and coat the skillet.
- Season Potatoes and Add to Skillet: Combine diced potatoes, minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried oregano, kosher salt, and ground pepper. Add this mixture to the skillet and cook undisturbed for approximately 4 minutes to develop a golden crust.
- Cook Potatoes Until Tender: Stir the potatoes and cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside in a bowl to rest.
- Increase Heat for Steak: Return the now-empty skillet to the stove and turn the heat up to high. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and stir to melt and coat the skillet.
- Cook Steak Bites: Add the cubed steak in a single layer to the hot skillet. Cook for 1 minute undisturbed to sear the underside. Flip or stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes depending on your preferred doneness. Remove the skillet from the heat once the steak is cooked.
- Toss Potatoes and Steak Together: Add the cooked potatoes back into the skillet and gently toss everything together to combine and warm through. Adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if desired.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the dish if using, then serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful garlic butter steak bites and potatoes.
Notes
- For best results, use a cast iron skillet to achieve a perfect sear on both potatoes and steak.
- You can substitute sirloin steak with tender cut beef like tenderloin or NY strip.
- Red-skinned or fingerling potatoes can be used instead of Yukon Gold for different textures.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the steak bites in the pan to ensure proper browning.
- Adjust herbs and seasoning to your taste preference.
- Optional garnish of parsley adds a fresh, vibrant touch.
