Garlic Steak Bites and Potatoes Recipe
Juicy seared steak bites and crispy golden potatoes tossed in a rich garlic butter sauce. Ready in 30 minutes and packed with flavor.
Equipment
- Cast iron skillet
- Paper towels
- Tongs
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt or to taste
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes optional
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Dry and season the steak cubes with paper towels, then coat with salt, pepper, paprika, and onion powder. Set aside.
- Cook the potatoes in 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat, cut-side down, for 8 to 10 minutes until golden and tender. Season and remove from pan.
- Increase heat to high and add remaining oil. Sear steak bites in a single layer for 1 to 2 minutes per side until browned. Work in batches if needed.
- Reduce heat to medium, add butter and garlic to the pan. Stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Return potatoes to the skillet and toss everything in the garlic butter for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Always pat the steak dry before searing for the best crust.
- Do not crowd the pan - sear in batches if needed.
- Garlic burns fast; add it only after reducing the heat.
- Leftovers reheat best in a skillet with a little butter.
