Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes (substitute with ribeye or tenderloin if preferred)
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking steak)
Potatoes
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Garnish (Optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Place the halved baby potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat evenly. Spread them in a single layer for even cooking.
- Roast the Potatoes: Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until crispy and golden brown, flipping halfway through to ensure even roasting.
- Heat the Skillet: While potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Season and Sear Steak: Season the steak cubes with salt and pepper. Add steak pieces to the hot skillet in a single layer, searing for 2-3 minutes per side until nicely browned and cooked to desired doneness. Remove steak and set aside.
- Make Garlic Herb Butter: Lower heat to medium, then add butter, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Toss Steak in Butter: Return the steak bites to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic herb butter to coat evenly. Cook another 1-2 minutes to heat through and meld flavors.
- Serve: Remove potatoes from oven and plate alongside the garlic butter steak bites. Drizzle extra garlic butter over the dish if desired and garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a vibrant finish.
Notes
- Use ribeye or tenderloin instead of sirloin for different flavor and tenderness.
- Make sure potatoes are halved evenly for uniform roasting.
- Cooking steak in batches prevents overcrowding and promotes good searing.
- Fresh herbs give the best flavor, but dried are a convenient substitute.
- Adjust cooking times for steak depending on thickness and your preferred doneness.
- Leftover garlic butter can be stored and used as a flavorful spread or sauce.
