Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 5 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
- Spread potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy outside and tender inside.
- While potatoes roast, pat steak bites dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter and melt until foamy.
- Add steak bites in a single layer (cook in batches if needed) and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned but still juicy. Remove steak bites and set aside.
- Lower heat to medium. Add remaining 3 tablespoons butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir constantly for about 1 minute until fragrant, avoiding browning the garlic.
- Return steak bites to the skillet and toss in garlic butter sauce until evenly coated.
- Transfer steak bites to a serving plate, sprinkle with fresh parsley if using, and serve immediately alongside the herb potatoes.
Notes
Pat steak dry before searing to ensure a good crust. Cook steak in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Use fresh herbs for best flavor. Add garlic to butter once melted but not browned to avoid bitterness. Let steak rest briefly after searing for juiciness. Season generously with salt and pepper. Cast iron skillet recommended for best sear.
