Ingredients
Scale
For the Herb Potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, diced into ½-inch cubes
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
For the Steak Bites
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1½ pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Freshly chopped parsley, optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Add diced Yukon Gold potatoes, minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried oregano, kosher salt, and ground pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes. Once cooked, remove potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Steak Bites: Increase the skillet heat to high. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and let it melt. Add the cubed sirloin steak to the skillet in a single layer. Sear the steak cubes, cooking for about 3-4 minutes per side or until they reach your preferred level of doneness. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and coating with garlic butter.
- Combine and Season: Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the steak bites. Toss everything together carefully to combine and heat through. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the dish if desired for a fresh, colorful garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful and hearty meal.
Notes
- Use a cast iron skillet for best heat retention and to get a nice sear on the steak.
- You can substitute sirloin steak with ribeye or filet mignon cubes for a different cut preference.
- If you prefer softer potatoes, parboil them before sautéing to reduce cooking time.
- Adjust garlic amount based on your taste preference for garlic intensity.
- Fresh herbs can be used instead of dried for a brighter flavor.
- Make sure to not overcrowd the pan when cooking steak to ensure proper searing.
