This quick and satisfying Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes recipe brings together tender steak, crispy golden potatoes, and rich garlic herb butter—all made in one skillet and ready in just 30 minutes. Perfect for busy weeknights or a comforting family meal.
Ingredients
- 1 pound sirloin steak cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 –4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes diced small
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: rosemary or thyme fresh or dried
Instructions
- Prep Ingredients: Dice the steak and potatoes into small, even-sized cubes. Mince garlic and prepare herbs if using.
- Cook Potatoes: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes in a single layer, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 10–12 minutes until golden and tender. Stir occasionally, then set aside.
- Sear Steak: Pat steak dry with paper towels. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the same skillet over high heat. Sear steak in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Set aside.
- Make Garlic Butter: Lower heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in garlic and herbs. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Combine & Finish: Return steak and potatoes to skillet. Toss everything in garlic butter to coat. Cook for 1–2 minutes more. Garnish with parsley and serve.
Notes
- For best sear, do not overcrowd the pan. Work in batches if necessary.
- Use fresh garlic and herbs for maximum flavor.
- Sirloin is ideal, but ribeye or NY strip can also be used.
- Reheat leftovers in a skillet over medium heat to maintain texture.
- Add mushrooms or bell peppers for variation, or top with Parmesan cheese.
