# Ingredients You’ll Need:
→ For the steak and potatoes
01 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
02 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
03 -
12 ounces sirloin steak, cut into 1 inch cubes
04 -
10 ounces baby potatoes, halved
05 -
1 teaspoon dried thyme
06 -
3 cloves garlic, minced
07 -
Kosher salt, to taste
08 -
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
09 -
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
# How to Make It:
01 -
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the halved baby potatoes in a single layer, season with salt and pepper, and cook, turning occasionally, for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown and crisp-tender. Transfer the potatoes to a plate and keep warm.
02 -
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Increase heat to high. Add the steak cubes in a single layer, seasoning again with salt and pepper. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms and steak reaches desired doneness. Remove steak from the pan and set aside with the potatoes.
03 -
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the minced garlic to the skillet, stirring constantly for about 1 minute until fragrant and lightly golden.
04 -
Return the seared steak bites and sautéed potatoes to the skillet. Sprinkle with dried thyme. Use a spatula to gently toss everything together until evenly coated with garlic butter and heated through.
05 -
Turn off the heat and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve the steak bites and potatoes hot, directly from the skillet or transfer to a serving platter.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Baby potatoes do not require peeling; their thin skins add extra texture and flavor.
02 -
Working in batches when searing steak ensures caramelization rather than steaming.
03 -
For a dairy-free version, substitute the butter with vegan butter or additional olive oil.
04 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in a skillet with a touch of butter for best results.
