Ingredients
Scale
Herb Potatoes
- 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 Bites
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1½ pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Freshly chopped parsley, optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Potatoes: Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted and hot, add the diced Yukon Gold potatoes along with minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried oregano, kosher salt, and ground pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Steak Bites: Increase the heat of the same skillet to high. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and let it melt until it sizzles. Add the sirloin steak cubes in a single layer. Cook the steak, turning occasionally, until they reach your desired level of doneness, typically about 3-4 minutes for medium-rare.
- Combine and Season: Return the cooked herb potatoes to the skillet with the steak bites. Stir gently to combine all the flavors and ensure everything is heated through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your flavorful Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Herb Potatoes.
Notes
- Use a cast iron skillet for best heat retention and browning.
- Be sure to cut the steak into even 1-inch cubes for consistent cooking.
- Adjust seasoning to your taste, especially salt and pepper.
- For a lower-fat version, reduce the butter or substitute with a lighter oil.
- Check steak doneness with a meat thermometer: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
- Fresh herbs can be used instead of dried for a brighter flavor.
