Description
This Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes recipe is a quick, flavorful meal that comes together in under 30 minutes. Tender steak bites and perfectly golden-brown potatoes are cooked together in a garlic butter sauce, making it the perfect easy dinner for any night of the week.
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
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and two tablespoons of the ghee to the pan.
- 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 the potatoes. Stir the potatoes and cook until golden brown and fork-tender, about 8-10 minutes. (Note: This will take longer if the potatoes are crowded in the pan or your potato pieces are larger. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.)
- Remove the potatoes and browned bits from the pan and set them aside.
- 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 the steak pieces to get a good sear. Stir and continue to cook until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the potatoes back to the pan and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if desired.
- Top with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- If you prefer a different potato variety, russet or red potatoes will work too!
- Make sure to avoid overcrowding the pan for the potatoes to get that golden, crispy texture.
- For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of parmesan on top.
