Garlic Butter Steak Bites Potatoes (Print View)

Tender steak bites and crispy potatoes tossed in garlic butter for a savory, satisfying main course.

# Components:

→ Meats

01 - 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

→ Vegetables

02 - 1 lb baby potatoes, quartered
03 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

→ Fats & Flavorings

05 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
06 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

→ Spices & Seasonings

07 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
08 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
09 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

# Directions:

01 - In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Introduce the quartered potatoes, season with kosher salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender, about 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer potatoes to a plate and cover to keep warm.
02 - Pat sirloin steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season thoroughly with kosher salt and black pepper.
03 - In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Once hot, arrange steak pieces in a single layer. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to preferred doneness, working in batches if needed. Transfer steak to the plate with potatoes.
04 - Reduce heat to low. Add unsalted butter and minced garlic to the pan, stirring until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
05 - Return steak bites and potatoes to the pan. Toss thoroughly to coat in garlic butter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • When you toss steak and potatoes in creamy garlic butter, every bite tastes like you’re treating yourself just a bit extra, even if it’s a regular night.
  • The whole recipe comes together in one skillet and under 40 minutes—giving you more time to linger at the table and less to scrub pans.
02 -
  • If you crowd the pan with steak cubes, they’ll steam instead of sear—batch cooking makes all the difference for their color and flavor.
  • Pull the pan off heat as soon as the garlic turns golden, or you’ll risk a bitter finish; fast hands are your friend here.
03 -
  • Piling potatoes on one side of the plate and steak bites on the other keeps both crisp and lets everyone scoop up their favorite ratio.
  • That little bit of parsley at the end is more than a garnish—the fresh, herbal pop cuts through the richness and keeps every bite feeling light.
