A quick and easy recipe featuring tender steak bites seared in garlic butter paired with crispy golden potatoes, perfect for a hearty and satisfying dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 pound baby Yukon gold or red potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or thyme, chopped (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry the potatoes. Cut into halves or quarters for even cooking. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.
  2. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter and the seasoned potatoes. Spread in a single layer and cook for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and tender. Remove potatoes and set aside.
  3. Pat dry the steak cubes with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Increase skillet heat to medium-high and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add steak bites in a single layer without crowding. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to sear, then flip and cook another 2-3 minutes for medium-rare.
  5. Lower heat to medium. Add 2 tablespoons butter and minced garlic to the skillet with the steak. Stir gently and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Return potatoes to the skillet and toss with steak bites. Cook for another 2 minutes to meld flavors. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Sprinkle chopped parsley or thyme over the dish before serving.

Notes

Keep garlic moving in the pan to prevent burning. Cook steak bites in batches if pan is crowded to ensure proper searing. Let steak rest briefly after cooking to lock in juices. For dairy-free, substitute butter with olive oil or vegan butter but flavor will differ.
