This recipe creates a flavorful and satisfying one-pan meal with tender steak bites and crispy potatoes, all cooked in a rich garlic butter sauce. It’s a quick and easy dish that’s perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1.5 pounds small potatoes (like Yukon Gold or red potatoes), cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Steak and Potatoes: Cut the sirloin steak into 1-inch cubes and the potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Season the Steak and Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the steak and potatoes with olive oil, thyme, paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper.
  3. Sear the Steak: Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites and sear them on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Cook the Potatoes: Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  5. Add Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  6. Combine and Serve: Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss with the potatoes and garlic butter sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until heated through. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Tips and Variations:

  • Steak Cut: You can use other cuts of steak like ribeye or filet mignon for this recipe.
  • Potato Variety: You can use different types of potatoes like fingerling or sweet potatoes.
  • Vegetable Additions: Add other vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms to the skillet.
  • Spice it Up: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
  • Herbs: Experiment with different herbs like rosemary or oregano.
  • Wine Sauce: Add a splash of red wine or white wine to the skillet for a richer sauce.
  • Lemon Juice: Add a squeeze of lemon juice at the end for a bright, acidic flavor.
