Description
Quick and flavorful garlic butter steak bites served with crispy Yukon gold potatoes, perfect for a weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup ghee or butter, divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more to taste
- 1 1/4 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
Instructions
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and two tablespoons of ghee, letting it shimmer.
- Add the potatoes, minced garlic, dried thyme, oregano, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Stir to coat.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes before stirring to create a golden crust, then continue cooking until potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender (about 8-10 minutes).
- Remove the potatoes and browned bits from the pan. Keep the browned bits for flavor.
- Increase heat to medium-high and add the remaining ghee. Sear the steak cubes in a single layer for 2-3 minutes without moving them.
- Flip steak and sear the other sides for another 2 minutes or until your desired doneness.
- Add remaining ghee and another clove or two of minced garlic. Toss steak for 30 seconds to combine flavors.
- Return the potatoes to the skillet, tossing together for a minute. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
- Remove from heat, let it rest for a minute, and serve directly from the skillet or transfer to a platter. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
Preheat the pan for best results. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Skip burning garlic by adding some later with steak.
