Ingredients
Scale
For the Potatoes:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 lb baby red and yellow potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 3 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Steak:
- 1 1/4 lb sirloin steak, cut into one-inch cubes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep Potatoes: Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the cubed potatoes, minced garlic, fresh parsley, thyme, rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 6 minutes until the potatoes are tender but still firm. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook Steak: Discard any burnt garlic and herbs from the skillet. Increase the heat to high and add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sirloin steak cubes and sear for 6 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine and Serve: Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the steak. Stir well and cook for 1 minute more until everything is heated through. Serve the garlic butter steak bites hot for a flavorful meal.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the skillet when cooking steak to ensure a nice sear and proper browning.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to match your desired spice level.
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor, but dried herbs can be substituted in half the amount.
- Sirloin steak is preferred for tenderness and flavor, but ribeye or strip steak can be used as alternatives.
- Let the steak rest a few minutes after cooking if preferred for juicier bites.
