Ingredients
Scale
For the Potatoes:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 lb baby red and yellow potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 3 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, depending on taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Steak:
- 1 – 1 1/4 lb sirloin steak, cut into one-inch cubes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep Potatoes: Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter together with ½ tablespoon of olive oil. Add the cubed potatoes, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender but still firm. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook Steak: Discard any burnt garlic and herbs from the skillet. Increase the heat to high and add the remaining ½ tablespoon of olive oil along with 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sirloin steak cubes in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan, and sear them for 4-6 minutes until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Season the steak with salt and pepper as it cooks.
- Combine and Serve: Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the steak. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 1 minute until the potatoes are heated through. Serve the garlic butter steak bites hot for maximum flavor.
Notes
- Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet when cooking the steak to ensure proper searing and caramelization.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your preferred spice level.
- You can substitute fresh herbs with 1 teaspoon dried herbs if fresh are not available.
- Using baby potatoes ensures even cooking; if using larger potatoes, cut them smaller or parboil briefly before sautéing.
- Rest the steak bites for a few minutes before serving to retain juices and enhance flavor.
