Ingredients

Scale
  • 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
    • 34 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.
