Description
Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes offers a quick, flavorful meal perfect for weeknights. Tender steak cubes and crispy potatoes cook fast in one skillet, coated in rich garlic butter.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter or ghee, divided
- 1 lb Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 6 cloves garlic, minced, divided
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped, divided
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt and pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 pounds sirloin steaks, cut into 1-inch cubes
Instructions
- Add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the potatoes and cook for 1–2 minutes without stirring to form a crust.
- Continue cooking for 5–6 minutes until potatoes are browned and tender. Add three cloves of garlic, 1 teaspoon rosemary, 1 teaspoon thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, then remove potatoes to a separate plate or paper towel.
- Turn the skillet to high heat and add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Add the steak bites and sear for 1–2 minutes. Stir and add the remaining garlic. Continue cooking until golden brown and cooked through (135°F), about 1–2 more minutes.
- Add the remaining herbs, then tilt the pan so the butter and herbs pool on one side. Spoon the herb butter over the cooked steak bites.
- Add the potatoes back into the skillet with the steak and stir well. Serve immediately.
Notes
- To store, keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
- For longer storage, freeze up to 3 months and thaw overnight before reheating.
- Reheat in a skillet over medium heat with a touch of butter to keep the steak juicy.
- If no cast iron skillet is available, use a regular skillet.
- For dried herbs, use half the amount specified for fresh.
