Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Herb Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 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
- 1½ pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 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. Add the diced Yukon Gold potatoes, minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried oregano, kosher salt, and ground pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and nicely browned. Once cooked, set the potatoes aside on a plate.
- Cook Steak: Increase the heat to high on the same skillet. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted and hot, add the sirloin steak cubes. Sear the steak by cooking on all sides until it reaches your desired level of doneness, typically 3-4 minutes for medium rare depending on the cube size.
- Combine and Season: Return the cooked herb potatoes to the skillet and mix them with the seared steak bites. Stir well to combine and allow the flavors to marry for a minute or two. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your garlic butter steak bites with herb potatoes.
Notes
- Use a cast iron skillet for best searing results and even heat distribution.
- You can substitute sirloin steak with ribeye or filet mignon cubes for different flavor profiles.
- For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes when cooking the potatoes.
- If potatoes are not tender after 10-12 minutes, cover the skillet to steam slightly and soften faster.
- Adjust cooking time of steak bites according to thickness and preferred doneness.
