Ingredients

Scale

Steak Bites

1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
Salt and pepper, to taste

Potatoes

1 lb baby potatoes, halved or quartered
1 tbsp butter
Salt and pepper, to taste

Garnish

Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Prepare the Potatoes: Start by halving or quartering the baby potatoes to ensure even cooking. Season them with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and add the potatoes. Cook them, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and crispy on the outside and tender inside, about 15-20 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Steak Bites: In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and increase the heat to medium-high. Add the bite-sized sirloin pieces, seasoned with salt and pepper. Sear the steak bites until they develop a brown crust on all sides and reach your desired doneness, about 3-4 minutes per side depending on thickness. Remove the cooked steak bites from the skillet and set aside with the potatoes.
Make Garlic Butter Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Stir frequently and cook until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Combine and Serve: Return the steak bites and potatoes to the skillet, tossing them gently in the garlic butter sauce to coat evenly. Cook together for another 1-2 minutes to let the flavors meld. Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Use a cast iron or heavy skillet for best searing results on the steak and potatoes.
If baby potatoes vary in size, cut into smaller pieces to ensure even cooking.
Adjust the amount of garlic based on your preference for stronger or milder flavor.
To make the recipe gluten-free, ensure no cross-contamination and use gluten-free seasoning.
For added heat, sprinkle red pepper flakes into the garlic butter sauce.
Make sure not to overcrowd the pan when searing steak bites to maintain a good crust.
