Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients
1½ lbs (680 g) sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
1½ lbs (680 g) baby potatoes, halved (or 4 medium potatoes, diced)
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Boil them for 5–7 minutes until just tender, then drain well.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes, season with salt, pepper, and paprika, then cook for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until crispy and golden. Transfer to a plate.
Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder if using.
Add the remaining olive oil to the hot skillet. Sear the steak bites in a single layer for 2–3 minutes per side until beautifully browned while remaining juicy inside. Cook in batches if necessary.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter, minced garlic, and rosemary or thyme. Stir for about 1 minute until the garlic becomes fragrant.
Return the crispy potatoes to the skillet and gently toss everything together until coated in the flavorful garlic butter sauce.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately while hot.
Serving Suggestions
Pair with roasted asparagus, green beans, or a crisp garden salad.
Add sautéed mushrooms or onions for extra flavor.
Finish with grated Parmesan cheese or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Serve with warm crusty bread to soak up the delicious garlic butter.
