Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ lb sirloin steak, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 lb Yukon gold potatoes, diced into small cubes
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup butter (or ghee), divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Simple Ingredient Substitutions

  • Steak options – Ribeye, strip steak, or beef tenderloin work well.
  • Potato alternatives – Try red potatoes, baby potatoes, or cauliflower (for a keto-friendly version).
  • Dairy-free version – Use ghee or dairy-free butter.
  • Extra seasoning ideas – Add smoked paprika, onion powder, or red pepper flakes for a bolder flavor.

Instructions

Step1: Prepare the Ingredients

  • Cut the steak and potatoes into ½-inch cubes for even cooking.
  • Mince the garlic and chop the parsley for later.

Step2: Cook the Potatoes

  • Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat.
  • Add olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter.
  • Toss in the potatoes, then season with garlic, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • Stir every 1-2 minutes and cook for about 6-8 minutes until golden brown and fork-tender.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a plate and set aside.

Step3: Sear the Steak Bites

  • Increase the heat to medium-high.
  • Melt the remaining butter in the skillet.
  • Add the steak pieces, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and sear for 2 minutes without stirring.
  • Flip the steak and cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring a golden-brown crust.

Step4: Combine & Serve

  • Return the potatoes to the pan and mix everything together.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Equipment

Notes

Use a Cast Iron Skillet – It provides the best sear and caramelization.
Don’t Overcrowd the Pan – Cook in batches to achieve perfect browning.

Let the Steak Rest – Allow it to sit for 1-2 minutes before serving to retain juiciness.
Fresh Garlic is Best – Avoid pre-minced garlic for a more vibrant flavor.
Boost the Aroma – Sprinkle in fresh rosemary or basil for added depth.
