Description

Savor juicy, garlic-buttery steak bites and crispy, skillet-cooked baby potatoes. An easy, flavor-rich dinner to love! Full recipe and nutrition details included.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, quartered
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare ingredients. Pat steak bites dry with paper towels and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Quarter the baby potatoes and mince the garlic.
  2. Step 2: Cook the potatoes. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add quartered potatoes, sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes or until tender and lightly browned. Remove potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Step 3: Sear the steak. Increase heat to high. Add seasoned steak bites to the hot skillet in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding). Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned, then remove steak from the skillet and set aside with the potatoes.
  4. Step 4: Make the garlic butter. Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet and let it melt. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30-60 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  5. Step 5: Combine and serve. Return the cooked steak bites and potatoes to the skillet. Toss everything gently to coat with the garlic butter. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat through. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving immediately.

Notes

  • Store any delightful leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days to enjoy later.
  • For best results when reheating, gently warm the steak and potatoes in a skillet over medium-low heat with a splash of water or a tiny pat of butter to help retain moisture.
  • While delicious on its own, a crisp green salad with a light vinaigrette or some steamed green beans would complement this rich dish wonderfully.
  • For truly restaurant-quality steak bites, ensure your skillet is screaming hot and you pat the steak exceptionally dry; this guarantees a beautiful crust and tender interior without steaming the meat.
