Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces

Potatoes

  • 1 lb Yukon gold or red potatoes, washed and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 tsp paprika

Garlic Butter Sauce

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for searing steak)
  • Fresh herbs (parsley or thyme), chopped for garnish

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of paprika

Instructions

  1. Prep the Potatoes: Wash and cut the potatoes into evenly sized bite-sized pieces. Pat them dry thoroughly with a towel to ensure maximum crispiness. Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Roast in the oven or pan-fry until the exterior is golden and crispy while the inside remains tender.
  2. Season and Sear the Steak: Season the steak pieces generously with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil. Sear the steak bites in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, cooking each piece about 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.
  3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the skillet and stir in the minced garlic. Cook gently until fragrant but not browned. Return the cooked steak bites to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic butter sauce to coat evenly and warm through.
  4. Combine and Garnish: Add the crispy potatoes to the skillet with the steak bites and toss to combine. Sprinkle chopped fresh herbs like parsley or thyme over the dish for a fresh pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately for best results.

Notes

  • Choose tender cuts like sirloin or ribeye for the best steak texture and flavor.
  • Pat potatoes very dry before cooking to achieve maximum crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when searing steak to ensure a proper sear.
  • Use freshly minced garlic rather than pre-minced or powdered for superior flavor.
  • Let steak rest briefly after searing to retain juices and tenderness.
