Ingredients
Scale
- For the Steak Bites:
- 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Garlic Herb Potatoes:
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the baby potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Cook the Steak Bites:
- While the potatoes are roasting, season the steak bites generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak bites in a single layer. Sear for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked to your liking. (Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.)
- Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set them aside.
- Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Let it melt and bubble slightly.
- Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant (be careful not to burn the garlic).
- Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss them in the garlic butter until evenly coated.
- Serve:
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
- Plate the steak bites alongside the roasted potatoes. Drizzle any remaining garlic butter from the skillet over the steak for extra flavor.
Notes
- Steak Alternatives: Ribeye, tenderloin, or filet mignon work well if you prefer a different cut of meat.
- Herb Variations: Feel free to swap rosemary and thyme for parsley, oregano, or Italian seasoning.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
- Make It Spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter for a spicy twist.
- Dairy-Free Option: Substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative like vegan butter or olive oil.
