Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 1/2 lbs baby potatoes, halved
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried thyme)
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary (or 1/2 tsp dried rosemary)
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup beef broth (optional, for extra flavor)

 

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Cook the potatoes: Heat 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes, season with salt, pepper, and paprika, and cook for 12-15 minutes until golden and fork-tender. Remove and set aside.
  • Sear the steak: In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Add steak bites in a single layer, seasoning with salt, pepper, onion powder, thyme, and rosemary. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  • Make the garlic butter sauce: Reduce heat to medium, add remaining butter, and sauté garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add beef broth (if using) and simmer for 1 minute.

 

  • Combine and serve: Return steak and potatoes to the skillet, tossing to coat in the garlic butter sauce. Warm through for 1 minute. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Warm in a skillet over medium heat or microwave in 30-second increments.
  • Freezing: Not recommended due to potato texture changes.

 

  • Customization: Add vegetables, spice it up with red pepper flakes, or top with Parmesan.
