Ingredients
-
For the Steak Bites:
- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped (or 1/2 tsp dried)
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1/2 tsp dried)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
-
For the Potatoes:
- 1 lb Yukon gold or red potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped (or 1/4 tsp dried)
- 1/2 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1/4 tsp dried)
Instructions
-
Cook the Potatoes: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes, seasoning with salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme, and rosemary. Sauté for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and golden. Remove from the pan and set aside.
-
Sear the Steak Bites: Return the skillet to high heat and add the remaining 1 tbsp butter. Once melted and hot, add the steak bites in a single layer. Sear for 1-2 minutes on each side or until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
-
Combine and Serve: Add the potatoes back into the skillet with the steak bites. Toss everything together, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until heated through. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- Steak Options: You can use other cuts like ribeye, tenderloin, or New York strip.
- Potato Tips: If the potatoes brown too quickly, lower the heat or add a splash of water to help them cook through without burning.
- Herbs: Fresh herbs add a vibrant flavor, but dried herbs work if you adjust the amounts to taste.
