Garlic Butter Steak Bites Potatoes (Printer Friendly)

Tender steak bites and golden potatoes tossed in rich garlic butter, ready in under 40 minutes.

# What You Need:

→ Meats

01 - 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

→ Vegetables

02 - 1 lb baby potatoes, quartered
03 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

→ Fats & Flavorings

05 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
06 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

→ Spices & Seasonings

07 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
08 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
09 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add quartered baby potatoes and season with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender, approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Remove potatoes to a plate and cover to keep warm.
02 - Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels and season evenly with kosher salt and black pepper.
03 - Add remaining olive oil to the same skillet. Once hot, lay steak cubes in a single layer. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned and preferred doneness is achieved. Work in batches if necessary. Transfer steak bites to the plate with potatoes.
04 - Reduce heat to low. Add unsalted butter and minced garlic to the pan, stirring until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
05 - Return steak bites and potatoes to the skillet. Toss to evenly coat in garlic butter. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

# Pro Advice:

01 -
  • This is the kind of meal you whip up not because you planned to impress, but because it’s practically impossible not to.
  • The steak bites and crispy potatoes catch every drop of garlicky butter, making you wonder why you ever cooked them separately.
02 -
  • A crowded pan means soggy potatoes and steamed steak instead of crisp and seared—work in batches even if it takes a tad longer.
  • I once underestimated how quickly garlic goes from golden to burnt; keep the heat low and move fast when it hits the pan.
03 -
  • Drying the steak really does make the sear unforgettable, even if you’re tempted to skip it.
  • Stir in the garlic after taking the pan off the heat if you’re nervous about burning—it still infuses every bite.
