Description

A hearty and flavorful one-pan meal featuring tender, juicy steak bites and golden-crisp potatoes tossed in a rich garlic butter sauce—perfect for a quick and satisfying dinner.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 1/2 lbs baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried)
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary (or 1/2 tsp dried)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add halved baby potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook cut side down for 5–6 minutes without stirring, until golden brown.
  2. Flip potatoes and continue cooking for another 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil and 2 tbsp butter. Once melted, add steak bites in a single layer. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until nicely browned and cooked to your liking. Remove steak and set aside.
  4. Lower heat to medium. Add remaining 2 tbsp butter, garlic, thyme, and rosemary to the skillet. Stir and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Return potatoes and steak to the skillet, toss to coat in the garlic butter, and cook for another 1–2 minutes to reheat everything.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use a cast iron skillet for the best sear on both steak and potatoes.
  • Let steak rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking for even results.
  • Add a splash of lemon juice or a dash of red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
