Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Potatoes
- 1 lb ribeye, sirloin, or tenderloin steak, cubed
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Sauce and Garnish
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh parsley or thyme, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook Potatoes: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned baby potatoes and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender inside. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Sear Steak Bites: Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the cubed steak in batches to avoid overcrowding. Sear each batch for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to desired doneness. Remove steak and set aside.
- Prepare Garlic Butter Sauce: Lower the heat to medium. Melt butter in the same skillet, then add minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant but not burnt.
- Toss Together: Return the cooked steak bites and potatoes to the skillet. Toss them thoroughly in the garlic butter sauce to coat evenly and heat through for 2 minutes.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley or thyme for a burst of freshness. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Ensure the skillet is hot enough before adding the steak to get a good sear.
- Use potatoes of similar size for even cooking.
- Adjust garlic quantity based on your preference for a milder or stronger garlic flavor.
- For a lower fat option, reduce butter to 1 tablespoon and use a non-stick skillet.
- Let steak rest briefly after searing if you prefer juicier bites.
