Scale
Potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, sliced and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Ground black pepper, to taste
Steak Bites and Garnish
- 1 1/4 pound sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
Instructions
- Cook Potatoes: Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the sliced Yukon gold potatoes, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, and season with salt and ground black pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes without stirring, then stir occasionally and continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender and golden brown. Remove potatoes from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- Sear Steak Bites: Increase the heat to high and add the sirloin steak pieces to the skillet. Season with salt and ground black pepper. Let the steak sear undisturbed for about 1 minute to develop a crust, then stir and cook the steak bites until evenly browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes total.
- Add Butter, Garlic, and Herbs: Add 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 teaspoon each of chopped fresh thyme, rosemary, and oregano into the skillet along with the cooked potatoes. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the garlic to become fragrant.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve the garlic steak bites with potatoes immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use a cast iron skillet for the best searing and even cooking results.
- Make sure potatoes are cut uniformly for even cooking.
- Fresh herbs add the best flavor but dried herbs can be used in a pinch (use about 1/3 of the fresh herb quantity).
- Adjust seasoning according to taste before serving.
- Let steak rest a few minutes after cooking if you want juicier bites.
