Ingredients
- For the Steak and Potatoes:
- 1 lb (450g) sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 lb (450g) baby potatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: Red pepper flakes, for a bit of heat
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the halved baby potatoes and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the Steak:
- Season the bite-sized steak pieces with salt and pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak pieces in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Potatoes:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Add the boiled potatoes, cut side down, and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Flip the potatoes occasionally to ensure they cook evenly.
- Prepare the Garlic Butter:
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the empty side of the skillet.
- Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant and the herbs are well combined with the butter.
- Combine and Serve:
- Return the cooked steak pieces to the skillet and toss everything together until well coated in the garlic butter sauce.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and red pepper flakes (if using) before serving.
