Ingredients

Scale

Steak Bites

  • 1 lb tender steak cuts (sirloin or ribeye), trimmed and cut into small cubes
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil (for searing steak)

Potatoes

  • 1 lb baby potatoes, washed and halved if large
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Garlic Butter Sauce

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Begin by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly. Cut any larger ones in half so they cook evenly. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the potatoes. Cook them until the outsides are golden brown and crisp, stirring occasionally to avoid burning—this should take about 10-12 minutes.
  2. Cook the Steak Bites: While the potatoes are cooking, season your steak bites generously with salt and pepper. In a separate pan over high heat, sear the steak pieces in a bit of oil, allowing them to brown beautifully on all sides while keeping the inside tender and juicy. This usually takes 3-4 minutes per batch depending on the heat and steak size.
  3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: Once the steak and potatoes are nearly done, lower the heat and add unsalted butter and minced garlic to the pan. Stir continuously to combine and let the garlic infuse the butter with its fragrant, rich aroma. The butter should become glossy and slightly simmering—be careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Combine and Finish: Return the steak bites to the pan with the potatoes and the garlic butter sauce. Toss everything together gently to ensure every bite is soaked in that irresistible sauce. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for a burst of freshness and color.

Notes

  • Choose the right steak: Tender cuts with some marbling give the best flavor and texture for quickly cooked steak bites.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan: Cook steak bites and potatoes in batches if necessary to maintain a nice sear and crunch.
  • Use fresh garlic: Minced fresh garlic, not powder, provides the richest and most authentic flavor.
  • Rest steak briefly: Let cooked steak bites rest for a minute before combining to retain juiciness.
  • Keep butter low and slow: Melt butter gently to avoid burning the garlic, which can turn bitter quickly.
