Ingredients

Fats & Oils

  • ¼ cup ghee or butter, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Vegetables & Herbs

  • 1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into ½ inch cubes
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • Freshly chopped parsley, for garnish

Seasonings

  • ½ teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more to taste

Protein

  • 1 ¼ lb sirloin steak, cut into ½ inch cubes

Instructions

  1. Prep: Begin by cutting the Yukon Gold potatoes and sirloin steak into ½ inch cubes and mincing the garlic cloves. Measure out all spices and fats to keep your cooking process smooth and organized.
  2. Heat the Pan: Place a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of ghee to the skillet to prepare for cooking the potatoes.
  3. Cook the Potatoes: Once the ghee has melted, add the cubed potatoes to the pan. Sprinkle the minced garlic, dried thyme, dried oregano, ½ teaspoon sea salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper over the potatoes. Let them cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, then stir. Continue cooking, stirring frequently every 1-2 minutes, until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender, which should take about 8-10 minutes total. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, as that will increase cooking time. Remove the potatoes and any browned bits from the pan and set aside.
  4. Sear the Steak: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of ghee to the skillet. Once melted, add the steak cubes to the pan. Season with a dash of salt and pepper. Allow the steak to sear without stirring for at least 2 minutes to develop a good crust. Then stir and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the steak pieces are golden brown on all sides.
  5. Combine and Finish: Add the cooked potatoes back into the skillet with the steak. Stir gently to combine all ingredients. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper to taste. Finish by topping the dish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful garlic butter steak bites and potatoes!

Notes

  • Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the steak to achieve a good sear and lock in juices.
  • Cut potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
  • Use a cast iron skillet if possible for optimal heat retention and browning.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking potatoes or steak to avoid steaming.
  • Ghee can be substituted with unsalted butter if desired.
  • Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
