How to Make Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes:
Step-by-step overview:
- Cook the potatoes: Heat olive oil and garlic butter in a skillet. Add the Yukon Gold potatoes and cook them over medium-low heat for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and fork-tender.
- Season the steak: While the potatoes cook, season the steak bites with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Sear the steak: Once the potatoes are cooked, push them aside or remove them from the skillet. Add more olive oil and garlic butter, then sear the steak bites for 3–4 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
- Combine and coat: Add the cooked potatoes back into the skillet and toss everything in the remaining garlic butter. Stir until the steak and potatoes are coated in the rich, creamy sauce.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 tablespoons garlic herb butter (or regular butter with garlic and herbs)
- 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1 teaspoon pepper, divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
How to Serve Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes:
This meal is perfect on its own, but you can pair it with a side of green beans, a simple salad, or garlic bread for extra flavor. It’s great for a quick dinner or even as a hearty meal for guests.
Tips:
- Searing the steak: Ensure your skillet is preheated for a perfect sear. If the pan is overcrowded, cook the steak in batches to avoid steaming.
- Storing leftovers: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days. Reheat them in the microwave or in a skillet for the best results.
FAQs:
Can I use a different type of potato?
While Yukon Gold potatoes hold up well, you can use russet potatoes. However, if using russet potatoes, remove them while cooking the steak to avoid them becoming mushy.
How do I get the perfect sear on the steak?
Ensure the pan is preheated before adding the steak. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Can I make this in the air fryer?
While this recipe hasn’t been tested with potatoes in the air fryer, you could try cooking the potatoes first and then cooking the steak. Experiment with cooking times for the best results.
Enjoy this savory and satisfying meal that’s as simple as it is delicious!
