Calories: Approximately 450 kcal per serving


Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 ½ lbs baby potatoes, halved
  • 4 tbsp butter, divided
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the Skillet: Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
  2. Cook the Potatoes: Add 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter to the skillet. Once the butter is melted, add the halved baby potatoes, cut-side down. Season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Cook for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sear the Steak Bites: In the same skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter. Add the steak cubes in a single layer (work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding). Season with salt and black pepper. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness (medium-rare is about 135°F/57°C). Remove the steak bites and set aside with the potatoes.
  4. Make the Garlic Butter: Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tbsp butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant and golden.
  5. Combine Everything: Return the potatoes and steak bites to the skillet. Toss everything in the garlic butter sauce to coat evenly, ensuring all pieces are warmed through.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness. Serve hot with your favorite sides or enjoy as is!

Tips for Success

  • Steak Doneness: For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C); for medium, aim for 140°F (60°C). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
  • Avoid Overcrowding: Sear the steak in batches to ensure a nice crust. Overcrowding causes steaming instead of browning.
  • Potato Prep: For extra crispy potatoes, parboil them for 5 minutes before frying, then pat dry.
  • Flavor Variations: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat or swap Italian seasoning for rosemary or thyme for a different flavor profile.
  • Serving Ideas: Pair with a green salad, roasted veggies, or a side of garlic bread to soak up the buttery sauce.
