Ingredients

Scale

Steak Bites

  • 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized chunks

Potatoes

  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved or quartered

Sauce & Seasonings

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Fresh Herbs

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley or thyme, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Wash and cut baby potatoes into halves or quarters for even cooking. Cut the steak into uniform bite-sized pieces. Mince fresh garlic and chop fresh herbs ahead of time to streamline the cooking process.
  2. Cook the Potatoes: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cut potatoes and season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Let them cook undisturbed for a few minutes until golden and crispy, then stir and continue sautéing until tender inside, about 10-12 minutes.
  3. Sear the Steak Bites: In another pan, warm the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil until hot but not smoking. Add steak bites in a single layer without overcrowding. Sear each side for 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.
  4. Create the Garlic Butter Sauce: Reduce heat to low and add butter to the steak pan. Once melted, stir in minced garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Toss the seared steak bites in the sauce to coat them evenly with the rich garlic butter flavor.
  5. Combine and Garnish: Transfer the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the steak bites or combine both in a serving dish. Stir gently to mix, add fresh herbs, and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot for a truly irresistible meal experience.

Notes

  • Let steak bites rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking to ensure even searing.
  • Pat steak pieces dry with paper towels for a beautiful brown crust.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; cook steak bites in batches if necessary to avoid steaming.
  • Cook potatoes low and slow to achieve tender insides and crispy outsides.
  • Add garlic near the end to prevent bitterness and preserve aroma.
