- 1 pound (454 grams) sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 34 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings and Herbs:
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried)
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Cooking Fats and Oils:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
Potatoes:
- 1 pound (454 grams) Yukon gold or red potatoes, cut into ½-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped (or ¼ teaspoon dried)
- ½ teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or ¼ teaspoon dried)
Instructions
- Prepare the skillet by heating a blend of olive oil and butter over medium-high temperature, creating a flavorful cooking base.
- Introduce diced potatoes into the heated skillet, generously coating them with a robust mixture of salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme, and rosemary for enhanced flavor complexity.
- Gently sauté the potatoes, stirring periodically to ensure even browning and prevent sticking, allowing them to develop a crisp golden exterior and tender interior over 8-10 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the perfectly cooked potatoes to a separate plate, keeping them warm and preserving their delectable texture.
- Elevate the skillet’s heat to high and introduce additional butter, creating a sizzling surface for the steak bites.
- Strategically place steak pieces in a single layer, ensuring maximum contact with the hot surface to achieve a perfect caramelized exterior.
- Sear the steak bites for a brief 1-2 minutes on each side, seasoning with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to intensify their natural flavors.
- Reunite the golden potatoes with the seared steak bites in the skillet, gently tossing to harmonize the temperatures and flavors.
- Perform a final 1-2 minute heating to ensure everything is perfectly warmed through and thoroughly combined.
- Optional: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the dish for a vibrant, aromatic finishing touch before serving.
Notes
- Choose bite-sized potatoes like baby or fingerling varieties for even cooking and quick preparation.
- Pat the steak dry before searing to ensure a golden-brown crust and prevent steaming instead of browning.
- Keep steak bites in a single layer during cooking to achieve maximum caramelization and prevent overcrowding the pan.
- For a low-carb version, substitute potatoes with cauliflower or turnips, maintaining similar cooking techniques and seasonings.
