Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1 lb Yukon gold potatoes, cut into ½ inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons ghee or butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more to taste
Steak
- 1 ¼ lb sirloin steak, cut into ½ inch cubes
- Additional ghee or butter for cooking (about 1 tablespoon)
- Salt and pepper to season
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Potatoes: Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of ghee or butter. Once melted and hot, add the cubed Yukon gold potatoes, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried oregano, ½ teaspoon sea salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender, about 15-18 minutes.
- Sear the Steak: Increase the heat to medium-high. Add additional ghee or butter to the skillet. Season the sirloin steak cubes with salt and pepper. Add the steak pieces to the skillet and sear them until they develop a beautiful golden-brown crust on all sides, about 3-4 minutes for medium-rare to medium doneness.
- Combine and Serve: Mix the cooked potatoes with the seared steak cubes in the skillet to combine all flavors. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve the garlic butter steak bites and potatoes hot for a comforting, flavorful meal.
Notes
- Yukon gold potatoes work best because they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
- You can substitute ghee or butter with all butter if preferred.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a pinch of smoked paprika when searing the steak.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet when searing steak to ensure proper browning.
- Adjust cooking time of steak cubes to your preferred doneness.
