Tender steak and crispy potatoes in garlic butter sauce

# Ingredient List:

→ Steak & Marinade

01 - 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
04 - 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
05 - 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs

→ Potatoes

06 - 1.5 lbs baby gold potatoes, quartered
07 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
08 - 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
09 - 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

→ Garlic Butter Sauce

10 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
11 - 5 cloves garlic, minced
12 - 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
13 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
14 - 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

# Steps:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine steak cubes with olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and dried Italian herbs. Toss until evenly coated and let marinate for 10 minutes.
02 - Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add quartered potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook while stirring occasionally for approximately 15 minutes until golden and crispy. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
03 - Increase skillet heat to medium-high. Add steak cubes in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove steak and set aside.
04 - Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in minced garlic and smoked paprika. Sauté for 1 minute until aromatic.
05 - Return potatoes and steak to the skillet. Toss to coat evenly with garlic butter sauce. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley and chives, and serve immediately.

# Tips from the Pros:

01 -
  • It is a complete, restaurant-quality meal made in just one skillet for easy cleanup.
  • The simple marinade ensures every bite of steak is tender and bursting with herb flavor.
  • It’s naturally gluten-free and packed with 36g of protein per serving.
02 -
  • Use a large cast iron skillet if available to achieve the best possible sear and crust on both the steak and the potatoes.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan when searing the steak bites; cooking in batches ensures they brown beautifully instead of steaming.
  • Make sure the potatoes are cut into uniform quarters so they all reach perfect crispness at the same time.
