Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered if large
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, divided
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

Instructions

  1. Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season with 0.5 teaspoon salt and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned potatoes in a single layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender. Remove potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Increase heat to high. Add the steak cubes in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan (work in batches if necessary). Sear for 1-2 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to your desired doneness. Remove steak from the skillet and set aside with the potatoes.
  5. Reduce heat to medium. Add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  6. Stir in the fresh parsley, rosemary, and thyme.
  7. Return the cooked potatoes and steak bites to the skillet. Toss everything to coat in the garlic herb butter. Cook for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispy potatoes, ensure they are dry before tossing with oil and seasoning.
  • If you don’t have fresh herbs, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of dried Italian seasoning.
  • This recipe is easily adaptable to other cuts of steak like ribeye or filet mignon.
