Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Seasoning
- 1 lb (450g) sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Potatoes and Herbs
- 1 lb (450g) baby potatoes, halved
- 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Season the Steak: Begin by seasoning the sirloin steak cubes generously with salt and black pepper. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Heat Oil for Potatoes: In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and allow it to warm up.
- Cook Potatoes: Place the halved baby potatoes in a single layer in the hot oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook them for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes turn golden brown and are tender inside.
- Set Potatoes Aside: Remove the cooked potatoes from the skillet and set them aside to make space for the steak.
- Heat Oil for Steak: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Increase the heat to high to properly sear the steak.
- Cook Steak Bites: Arrange the seasoned steak cubes in a single layer in the hot skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your preferred level of doneness.
- Add Garlic Butter: Lower the heat to medium. Add the unsalted butter and minced garlic to the skillet with the steak, stirring continuously to coat the steak bites evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to infuse the garlic flavor.
- Combine Potatoes and Herbs: Return the golden potatoes to the skillet with the steak. Sprinkle the mixture with dried thyme and rosemary. Stir well to combine and heat through for about 2 minutes.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish by garnishing with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot for a delightful meal.
Notes
- For an extra crispy potato texture, you can parboil the potatoes before frying.
- Adjust garlic quantity according to your taste preference.
- Use fresh herbs if available for more vibrant flavor.
- Let steak rest a few minutes after cooking for juicier bites.
- This dish pairs well with a side salad or steamed vegetables.
