Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes: A Simple and Satisfying One-Pan Meal

Learn how to make Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes! This easy recipe features tender, flavorful steak bites, crispy potatoes, and a rich garlic butter sauce, all cooked in one pan.

Ingredients

Scale

  • ¼ cup ghee or butter, divided (regular butter also works)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into ½ inch cubes
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 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
  • 1 ¼ lb sirloin steak, cut into ½ inch cubes

Instructions

1. Prepare the Potatoes: Seasoning and Initial Cooking

  1. Heat Skillet: Heat a large cast-iron skillet (or another heavy-bottomed skillet) over medium heat.
  2. Add Oil and Ghee/Butter: Add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the ghee (or butter) to the hot skillet. Let the ghee/butter melt completely.
  3. Add Potatoes: Once the ghee/butter is melted and hot, add the cubed potatoes to the skillet.
  4. Season Potatoes: Sprinkle the minced garlic, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and pepper over the potatoes in the skillet.
  5. Cook Potatoes: Cook the potatoes for 2-3 minutes without stirring, allowing them to develop a golden-brown crust on the bottom. Then, stir the potatoes and continue to cook until they are golden brown and fork-tender, about 8-10 minutes total. Stir them frequently (about every 1-2 minutes) to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
    • Note: The recipe author notes that cooking time will be longer if the potatoes are crowded in the pan or if the potato pieces are larger than ½ inch.
  6. Remove Potatoes: Once the potatoes are cooked, use a slotted spoon or spatula to remove them from the skillet and set them aside on a plate. Leave any remaining oil/butter in the skillet.

2. Sear the Steak: Achieving a Flavorful Crust

  1. Increase Heat: Increase the heat under the skillet to medium-high.
  2. Add Remaining Ghee/Butter: Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of ghee (or butter) to the skillet and let it melt.
  3. Add Steak: Once the ghee/butter is melted, add the cubed steak pieces to the skillet.
  4. Season Steak: Season the steak with a dash of salt and pepper.
  5. Sear: Cook the steak for at least 2 minutes without stirring, allowing it to develop a good sear on one side. Then, stir the steak pieces and continue to cook until they are golden brown on all sides, about 1-2 minutes more.
    • Tip: Don’t overcrowd the skillet. If necessary, sear the steak in batches.

3. Combine and Finish: Bringing it All Together

  1. Return Potatoes: Add the cooked potatoes back to the skillet with the seared steak.
  2. Stir to Combine: Stir everything together to combine the potatoes and steak.
  3. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the mixture and add more salt and pepper if needed.
  4. Garnish: Top with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
  5. Serve: Serve the Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes immediately while hot.
