Description
This garlic butter steak bites and potatoes recipe is easy to make and cooks up in under 20 minutes! The steak bites are incredibly tender, and the potatoes get beautifully golden brown right in the pan.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup ghee or butter, divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into ½ inch cubes
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more to taste
- 1 ¼ lb sirloin steak, cut into ½ inch cubes
Instructions
Prep: Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and two tablespoons of the ghee to the pan.
Cook the potatoes: Once the ghee is melted, add the potatoes and sprinkle the garlic, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper over top. Cook for 2-3 minutes before stirring. Continue cooking until golden brown and fork-tender, about 8-10 minutes, stirring every 1-2 minutes. (Note: Cooking time may be longer if the pan is crowded or potato pieces are larger.) Remove the potatoes and browned bits from the pan and set aside.
Sear the steak: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the remaining two tablespoons of ghee to the pan. Once melted, add the steak pieces and season with a dash of salt and pepper. Cook for at least 2 minutes before stirring to allow a good sear. Continue cooking until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Combine: Add the potatoes back to the pan and stir to combine. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Top with freshly chopped parsley. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
You can use other small potato varieties in this recipe, including yellow, red, or fingerling potatoes.
Cut the potatoes small and evenly for quicker cooking.
Fight the urge to stir the meat too early—let them sear properly before stirring.
