Ingredients
For the potatoes:
- 1 ½ lbs baby potatoes (halved or quartered if large)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the steak:
- 1 ½ lbs sirloin steak (cut into bite-sized cubes)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
- Optional: ½ tsp red pepper flakes for heat
Instructions
- Cook the Potatoes:
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the potatoes, season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and fork-tender.
- Remove the potatoes from the pan and set aside.
- Sear the Steak Bites:
- While the potatoes cook, season the steak cubes with salt and pepper.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in the same skillet over high heat.
- Add the steak bites in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. (Work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.)
- Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter to the skillet and let it melt.
- Stir in the minced garlic and Italian seasoning. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Combine Everything:
- Return the potatoes and steak to the skillet. Toss everything together in the garlic butter sauce.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes to reheat everything.
Tips for the Best Steak Bites
- Use a hot pan to get a good sear on the steak. A cast iron skillet works best.
- Do not overcrowd the pan; cook the steak in batches if necessary to ensure even browning.
- Let the steak rest for a minute before tossing it back in with the potatoes to keep it juicy.
- For extra richness, add an extra tablespoon of butter at the end.
