Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Seasonings
- 1 lb. Yukon Gold potatoes, diced into ½-inch cubes (or red-skinned or fingerling potatoes)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp ground pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Steak and Butter
- 1½ lbs. sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes (alternatives: beef tenderloin, NY strip steak, or stir fry meat)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided (½ stick)
- Freshly chopped parsley, optional for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the skillet and melt butter: Place a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter. Allow the butter to melt completely until it starts to sizzle, preparing the pan for cooking.
- Cook the potatoes with seasonings: Add the diced potatoes, minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried oregano, kosher salt, and ground pepper to the skillet. Let the potatoes cook for about 4 minutes without stirring to develop a crispy exterior. Then stir and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender. Remove the cooked potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
- Sear the steak bites: Increase the heat to high and return the skillet to the stove. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and stir until melted. Add the steak cubes in a single layer and cook for 1 minute without moving them to achieve a good sear. Flip or stir the steak bites and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, cooking to your desired doneness. Remove the skillet from heat.
- Toss potatoes and steak together: Add the cooked potatoes back into the skillet with the steak bites. Gently toss everything together to combine and evenly heat through. Adjust the seasoning with extra salt and pepper if desired.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the dish for added color and freshness if using. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious garlic butter steak bites with potatoes!
Notes
- Use a cast iron skillet for best heat retention and searing results.
- Yukon Gold potatoes are recommended for their creamy texture but red-skinned or fingerling potatoes work well too.
- Do not stir the potatoes during the first 4 minutes of cooking to allow a crispy crust to form.
- Adjust steak cooking time according to your preferred doneness level.
- Fresh parsley garnish is optional but adds a nice color and fresh flavor.
