Ingredients
Scale
- Steak:
- 1 pound sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Potatoes:
- 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, quartered or cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Garlic Butter Sauce:
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
- Sear the Steak: While potatoes are roasting, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season steak bites generously with salt and pepper. Add steak to the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan (cook in batches if necessary). Sear for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness. Remove steak from skillet and set aside.
- Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Stir in parsley, rosemary (if using), and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Combine Steak and Potatoes: Return the steak bites to the skillet with the garlic butter sauce. Toss to coat. Add the crispy roasted potatoes to the skillet and toss everything together.
- Serve: Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
Notes
- Steak Cuts: Sirloin and ribeye are great choices for steak bites. You can also use filet mignon, but it’s more expensive.
- Potato Variety: Yukon Gold potatoes are ideal for crisping up, but red potatoes or even russets can work too.
- Doneness of Steak: Adjust searing time based on your preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steak reaches your desired internal temperature.
- Garlic Butter Sauce: Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can become bitter.
- Adding Vegetables: You can add other vegetables to the skillet along with the potatoes, such as bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms.
