Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 1 lb steak (ribeye, sirloin, or tenderloin), cut into 1-inch cubes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Potatoes
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh parsley or thyme, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Potatoes: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the halved or quartered baby potatoes with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender inside. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Sear the Steak Bites: Increase heat to medium-high and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the same skillet. Season the cubed steak with salt, pepper, and paprika. Add the steak bites in a single layer without overcrowding the pan. Sear each side for about 2-3 minutes to develop a nice brown crust, cooking them in batches if needed. Remove steak bites from skillet and set aside.
- Make Garlic Butter Sauce: Reduce heat to medium-low and melt the unsalted butter in the same skillet. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not burnt.
- Toss Steak and Potatoes: Return the seared steak bites and crispy potatoes to the skillet. Toss everything well in the garlic butter sauce to coat evenly and heat through for 1-2 minutes.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley or thyme over the skillet mixture. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your flavorful garlic butter steak bites and potatoes.
Notes
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or cast iron pan for best searing results.
- Cut potatoes evenly to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when searing steak to allow proper browning.
- For extra flavor, you can add a splash of white wine or lemon juice when making the garlic butter sauce.
- This recipe works well with other herbs like rosemary or oregano if preferred.
