Ingredients
Scale
For the Potatoes:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 lb baby red and yellow potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 3 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, depending on taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Steak:
- 1 – 1 1/4 lb sirloin steak, cut into one-inch cubes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep Potatoes: Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the cubed potatoes, minced garlic, fresh parsley, thyme, rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes until potatoes are tender but still firm. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook Steak: Discard any burnt garlic and herbs remaining in the skillet. Increase the heat to high, then add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sirloin steak cubes to the skillet and sear for 4-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on the outside and cooked to your preferred doneness. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine and Serve: Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the steak. Stir and cook together for 1 minute until the potatoes are heated through and the flavors meld. Serve the garlic butter steak bites hot for a delicious meal.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the skillet when cooking the steak; cook in batches if necessary to ensure proper searing and browning.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your preferred spice level.
- Use fresh herbs for best flavor, but dried herbs can be substituted using one-third of the quantity.
- Ensure the potatoes are cut evenly for uniform cooking.
- Let the steak rest a few minutes after cooking if desired for juicier bites.
