Description
Garlic Steak Bites and Potatoes is the ultimate one-pan dinner—juicy sirloin steak cubes and crispy golden potatoes tossed in garlic butter and herbs. It’s hearty, flavorful, and comes together in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1½ lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- 4 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 5–6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the baby potatoes, season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and fork-tender. Remove and set aside.
3. Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs.
4. In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Add steak cubes in a single layer (cook in batches if needed). Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Do not overcook.
5. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
6. Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat in the garlic butter.
7. Cook for another 1–2 minutes to heat through.
8. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Use room-temperature steak for even cooking and better searing.
Pat the steak dry before searing to help it brown instead of steam.
Cook steak in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which ensures crispy edges.
Let the steak rest briefly after cooking to retain its juices.
Finish with garlic and butter at the end to prevent burning and boost flavor.
Chop potatoes small for faster cooking and crispier texture.
