No reviews

Ultimate skillet perfection! Crisp, golden baby potatoes pave the way for juicy, high-heat seared sirloin bites, all smothered in rich garlic butter. Fast, flavor-packed dinner with minimal cleanup.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs Sirloin Steak, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1.5 lbs Baby Potatoes (Yukon Gold or Red), quartered
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter, divided
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper, divided
  • 1 tablespoon fresh Parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Toss the quartered potatoes with the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Heat a large skillet (cast iron recommended) over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned potatoes and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and fork-tender. Remove the potatoes and set them aside.
  2. Step 2: Pat the steak pieces dry with paper towels and season them liberally with the remaining salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the empty skillet and increase the heat to high. Sear the steak bites in a single layer for 1-2 minutes per side until deeply browned (medium-rare to medium). Remove the steak from the skillet.
  3. Step 3: Reduce the heat to low. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 30 seconds until the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant, ensuring the garlic does not burn.
  4. Step 4: Immediately return the cooked potatoes and the seared steak bites to the skillet. Toss everything gently in the melted garlic butter sauce until fully coated and heated through.
  5. Step 5: Remove the skillet from the heat, garnish generously with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days, but for best quality, separate the steak from the potatoes before chilling.
  • To refresh leftovers, reheat the mixture gently on the stovetop and add a tiny splash of water or broth to the pan to revive the garlic butter moisture.
  • Balance the richness of the garlic butter with a side of steamed green beans or a simple arugula salad dressed with lemon and flaky sea salt.
  • Never skip patting the steak completely dry before seasoning, as excess moisture prevents the high heat sear necessary for developing that deep, savory crust in Step 2.
