Ingredients
Scale
For the 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
For the Steak Bites
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1½ pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Freshly chopped parsley, optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare 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: Increase the skillet heat to high. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan. Once the butter is melted and sizzling, add the sirloin steak cubes. Sear the steak bites, stirring occasionally, until they reach your desired level of doneness—usually about 3-5 minutes for medium rare to medium.
- Combine and Season: Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the steak. Toss everything together, allowing the flavors to meld for another minute. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the garlic butter steak bites and herb potatoes with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your savory meal!
Notes
- Using a cast iron skillet helps achieve a nice sear on both the steak and potatoes.
- Make sure the potatoes are cut into uniform small cubes for even cooking.
- You can substitute dried herbs with fresh ones, but reduce quantity by half for more delicate flavors.
- Let the steak rest a few minutes after cooking for juicier bites if time allows.
- Adjust garlic quantity according to your preference for a milder or stronger flavor.
