Savor the rich and hearty flavors of Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes, a perfect one-pan recipe combining tender sirloin steak cubes with crispy Yukon gold potatoes, all infused with aromatic garlic, thyme, and oregano in a luscious butter and olive oil blend.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Steak Bites and Potatoes

  • ¼ cup ghee or butter, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb Yukon gold potatoes, cut into ½ inch cubes
  • 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
  • lb sirloin steak, cut into ½ inch cubes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat half of the ghee or butter (2 tablespoons) and the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cubed Yukon gold potatoes, sprinkle with half of the sea salt and pepper, and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
  2. Add Garlic and Herbs: Once the potatoes are nearly cooked, add the minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried oregano to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not burned.
  3. Cook the Steak Bites: Push the potatoes to the side of the skillet and add the remaining ghee or butter. Increase heat to medium-high and add the sirloin steak cubes in a single layer. Season with the remaining salt and pepper. Sear the steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.
  4. Combine and Serve: Mix the steak bites and potatoes together in the skillet to marry the flavors. Give everything a final stir, adjust seasoning if needed, and cook for another minute to heat through. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Choose Yukon gold potatoes for their creamy texture and excellent browning qualities.
  • Use ghee or butter for a rich flavor; olive oil helps with the crisping of potatoes.
  • Cut steak and potatoes into uniform ½ inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
  • Adjust seasoning after cooking to suit your taste.
  • Use a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottom pan for best searing results.
  • Optional: Add fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving for brightness.
