Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
Potatoes
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved or quartered
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary or thyme
Other
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1/4 tsp chili flakes
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Chop baby potatoes into halves or quarters for faster cooking. Cut steak into evenly sized bite pieces for uniform cooking. Mince fresh garlic and set aside the fresh herbs.
- Cook the Potatoes: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook undisturbed for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Sear the Steak Bites: Push potatoes to one side of the pan and add steak bites in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper. Sear the steak for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned but still juicy.
- Add Garlic Butter and Herbs: Reduce heat to medium-low. Add unsalted butter, minced garlic, and fresh rosemary or thyme to the pan. Gently stir to coat steak and potatoes in the garlic butter sauce, allowing flavors to meld.
- Finish Cooking and Rest: Cook everything together for another 2 to 3 minutes until steak reaches desired doneness and potatoes are tender inside. Remove from heat and let rest briefly to lock in flavors.
Notes
- Use room temperature steak to ensure even cooking without toughening.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan to allow proper searing instead of steaming.
- Always use fresh garlic for the best flavor and aroma.
- Choose waxy potatoes for optimal crispiness and shape retention.
- Let the butter brown slightly to add a nutty richness to the sauce.
