Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Roasted Potatoes
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and dice the potatoes into evenly sized cubes to ensure uniform cooking.
- Season the Potatoes: Place the diced potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat all pieces evenly.
- Roast the Potatoes: Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through to achieve a golden and crispy exterior while keeping the inside tender.
- Season the Steak Bites: While the potatoes roast, season the sirloin steak cubes with salt, pepper, dried rosemary, and thyme, ensuring each piece is well coated with the herbs and seasonings.
- Sear the Steak Bites: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak cubes and sear them for 3-4 minutes per side until they develop a nice brown crust and reach your preferred doneness. Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set aside to rest.
- Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium, add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and minced garlic. Sauté the garlic gently until fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute. This will infuse the butter with rich garlic flavor.
- Combine the Dish: Return the cooked steak bites to the skillet with the garlic butter sauce and toss to coat evenly, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist.
- Serve: Plate the hot roasted potatoes alongside the garlic butter steak bites. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of additional seasoning for extra flavor.
Notes
- For best results, use medium-starch potatoes like Yukon Gold for roasting.
- You can adjust the seasoning on steak and potatoes to suit your taste preferences.
- Cook steak to your desired doneness; use a meat thermometer if needed (medium rare at 130-135°F, medium at 140-145°F).
- Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet when searing steak to get a good sear.
- This recipe can be doubled or halved easily depending on servings needed.
