Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Roasted Potatoes
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces to ensure even roasting.
- Season the Potatoes: Place the diced potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper over the top. Toss the potatoes well to coat all pieces evenly with the seasoning and oil.
- Roast the Potatoes: Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Flip or toss them halfway through cooking to promote even browning. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, tender inside when done.
- Season the Steak Bites: While the potatoes roast, season the sirloin steak cubes generously with salt, pepper, dried rosemary, and dried thyme to infuse the meat with herbaceous flavor.
- Sear the Steak: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak cubes and sear them for 3-4 minutes per side until they develop a rich brown crust and reach your preferred doneness. Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set them aside to rest.
- Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. When melted, add minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant but not browned. Toss the steak bites back into the skillet, stirring to coat them thoroughly in the garlic butter sauce.
- Combine and Serve: Serve the garlic butter steak bites alongside the crispy roasted potatoes. Optionally garnish with fresh parsley or additional herbs for color and freshness. Enjoy this hearty, flavorful dish immediately while hot.
Notes
- For best results, use a heavy skillet such as cast iron to get a good sear on the steak.
- Adjust the roasting time of potatoes depending on your oven and the size of the potato chunks.
- You can substitute rosemary and thyme with fresh herbs if available for a brighter flavor.
- Letting the steak rest briefly after cooking helps retain juices and tenderness.
- This recipe can be doubled easily for larger gatherings.
