Print Recipe

This easy one-pan meal brings together tender, seared steak bites and crispy golden potatoes coated in buttery garlic flavor. It’s perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner, but impressive enough for casual entertaining. With minimal prep and easy cleanup, it’s a great go-to meal for busy days.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1½ lbs sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes

  • 1½ lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

  • 4 tablespoons butter

  • 5–6 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the potatoes:
    Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
    Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and fork-tender. Remove and set aside.

  2. Sear the steak:
    Season the steak cubes with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs.
    In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon oil and 2 tablespoons butter.
    Sear the steak in a single layer (cook in batches if needed) for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Avoid overcooking for the best texture.

  3. Add the garlic butter:
    Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the remaining butter and the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. Combine:
    Return the cooked potatoes to the pan. Toss everything together to coat in garlic butter.

  5. Finish and serve:
    Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes.
    Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use a heavy skillet like cast iron for better browning.

  • Don’t overcrowd the pan; steak bites need space to brown, not steam.

  • Swap-ins: Use Yukon gold potatoes or sweet potatoes for a twist.
