Potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound sliced Yukon gold potatoes cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- Ground black pepper to taste
Steak Bites
- 1 1/4 pound sirloin steak cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
Instructions
- Cook the Potatoes: Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 pound sliced Yukon gold potatoes, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, and season with salt and ground black pepper. Cook the potatoes for about 5 minutes before stirring, then continue cooking for an additional 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are fork tender. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
- Sear the Steak Bites: Increase the heat to high. Add 1 ¼ pound sirloin steak pieces to the skillet and season with salt and ground black pepper. Let the steak sear without stirring for about a minute to develop a crust, then stir and continue cooking the steak bites until they turn golden brown, approximately 4-5 minutes total.
- Add Flavor and Combine: Add 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary, 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano, and the cooked potatoes to the skillet. Cook everything together for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld perfectly.
- Serve: Serve the garlic steak bites and potatoes immediately while hot and flavorful.
Notes
- Use a cast iron skillet for the best sear and even cooking.
- You can substitute sirloin steak with ribeye or strip steak for more marbling and flavor.
- Fresh herbs are essential for vibrant taste but can be replaced with dried herbs if unavailable, using one-third the quantity.
- Ensure potatoes are cooked until fork tender before adding steak to prevent undercooked potatoes.
- Adjust seasoning to your taste preferences, especially salt and pepper.
