Description
A quick and easy weeknight dinner featuring tender steak bites seared in garlic butter, served alongside crispy roasted potatoes. Ready in just 15 minutes with minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1.5 pounds baby Yukon Gold potatoes, halved
- 6–8 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon avocado or canola oil (for steak)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil (for potatoes)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (divided)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper (divided)
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 1 wedge lemon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Toss halved potatoes with 2 tablespoons oil, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, and 1 teaspoon dried herbs. Spread in a single layer on a sheet pan and roast for 10 minutes.
- Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels and season generously with remaining salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Sear steak bites in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary) for 2 minutes per side until browned but still pink inside. Remove to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant (do not let brown).
- Return steak bites to the skillet and toss in garlic butter for 30 seconds to coat. Remove from heat.
- Remove potatoes from oven. Pour steak bites and garlic butter over potatoes and toss gently.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and squeeze lemon juice over the top if using. Serve immediately.
Notes
Do not crowd the pan when searing steak to ensure a good crust. Pat the steak dry before seasoning to remove moisture. Watch the garlic closely as it burns quickly. Potatoes should be spread in a single layer to roast rather than steam. This recipe is naturally gluten-free.
