Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (from 4 tablespoons total), divided
- 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, diced into ½-inch cubes
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
Steak
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (remaining from 4 tablespoons total)
- 1½ pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Freshly chopped parsley, optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Add the diced Yukon Gold potatoes, minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried oregano, kosher salt, and ground pepper. Cook everything together until the potatoes are tender and slightly crispy on the outside, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Once done, remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook Steak: Increase the heat of the same skillet to high. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan. Add the sirloin steak cubes and cook, stirring frequently, until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness, typically about 3-5 minutes for medium rare to medium. The garlic butter will help caramelize the beef and enhance the flavor.
- Combine and Season: Once the steak is cooked, add the cooked potatoes back into the skillet. Toss everything together to combine the flavors evenly. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed, ensuring the dish is flavorful.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top if using, and serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your savory garlic butter steak bites with herb potatoes.
Notes
- Use a cast iron skillet for best heat retention and flavor development.
- For extra crispy potatoes, cook them a bit longer on medium-high without stirring too frequently.
- Adjust garlic quantity to taste if preferred milder or stronger flavor.
- Rest steak bites briefly off heat if you prefer slightly less pink inside before combining with potatoes.
- Fresh herbs can substitute dried herbs; use about three times the amount for fresh rosemary and oregano.
