Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

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

Method
 

Prepare the Potatoes:
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the baby potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  3. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.
  4. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Cook the Steak Bites:
  1. While the potatoes are roasting, season the steak bites generously with salt and pepper.
  2. 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.)
  3. Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set them aside.
Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
  1. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Let it melt and bubble slightly.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant (be careful not to burn the garlic).
  3. Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss them in the garlic butter until evenly coated.
Serve:
  1. Remove the potatoes from the oven and season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
  2. 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.
