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
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
- Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes.
- Season the potatoes: Place the diced potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly with the seasoning.
- Roast the potatoes: Roast the potatoes in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Flip them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning. Remove once they are golden and crispy.
- Prepare the steak: While the potatoes are roasting, season the sirloin steak cubes with salt, pepper, dried rosemary, and thyme for a robust flavor.
- Sear the steak bites: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak cubes and sear them for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your preferred level of doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Create garlic butter sauce: In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons unsalted butter and minced garlic. Cook until the garlic is fragrant and the butter melts, creating a rich garlic butter sauce.
- Combine steak with sauce: Return the seared steak cubes to the skillet and toss them in the garlic butter, coating them well for added flavor.
- Serve: Plate the garlic butter steak bites alongside the crispy roasted potatoes for a complete meal.
Notes
- Adjust the seasoning on the steak and potatoes according to taste preference.
- For extra crispiness, soak the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting, then dry thoroughly.
- Use a cast iron skillet if available for better heat retention and searing.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain juices.
- Can substitute sirloin with ribeye or strip steak for different textures and flavors.
