Garlic Butter Steak Bites Potatoes (Printable)

Sear steak pieces and potatoes, toss with garlic butter and herbs. Rich, savory, and satisfying main dish.

# Ingredient List:

→ Meats

01 - 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

→ Vegetables

02 - 1 pound baby potatoes, quartered
03 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

→ Fats & Flavorings

05 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
06 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

→ Spices & Seasonings

07 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
08 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
09 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the quartered potatoes and season with kosher salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are golden and tender, about 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer potatoes to a plate and cover to keep warm.
02 - Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels and season them evenly with kosher salt and black pepper.
03 - Add remaining olive oil to the skillet. When hot, arrange steak pieces in a single layer. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side, cooking in batches if necessary, until well-browned and cooked to desired doneness. Transfer steak to the plate with potatoes.
04 - Reduce heat to low and add unsalted butter and minced garlic to the pan, stirring until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
05 - Return steak bites and potatoes to the pan. Toss well to coat in the garlic butter. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No more choosing between steak and potatoes—you get both in every garlicky bite.
  • There’s nothing like the way butter and garlic wrap around crispy potatoes and juicy steak cubes for a foolproof crowd-pleaser.
02 -
  • If the pan isn't hot enough, the steak bites will steam instead of sear and lose all that irresistible crust.
  • Salt the potatoes as soon as they hit the oil—waiting means they'll taste bland, no matter how much you season later.
03 -
  • Always let steak rest for a few minutes before cutting into cubes so you don’t lose all the juices on your cutting board.
  • Finish with flaked sea salt right before serving for an extra layer of texture and flavor—makes it taste like you ordered in.
