Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1.5 lbs sirloin steak cubed
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes halved
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 4 tablespoons butter unsalted
  • 5-6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika smoked
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs seasoning
  • blank blank salt and pepper to taste
  • blank blank fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • Large Cast Iron Skillet
  • Wooden spoon
  • Chef Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

Main Instructions
  1. Begin by heating two tablespoons of olive oil in your skillet over medium heat. Toss in the baby potatoes and season them with salt, pepper, and paprika. Sauté the potatoes for about 15 minutes until they are golden brown and fork-tender, then set them aside.
  2. While the potatoes rest, season your steak cubes generously with salt, pepper, and the dried herbs. Wipe the skillet clean and add one tablespoon of oil and two tablespoons of butter. Sear the steak in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side until a deep crust forms.
  3. Turn the heat down to medium-low to prevent burning the milk solids in the butter. Melt the remaining butter in the center of the pan and add the minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for about 60 seconds until it smells incredible and turns lightly golden.
  4. Slide the cooked potatoes back into the skillet with the steak bites. Toss everything gently so the garlic butter coats every single nook and cranny of the beef and potatoes.
  5. Allow the dish to heat through for another 2 minutes so the flavors meld. Remove from the heat, sprinkle with a handful of fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

For the best results, use a cast iron skillet to achieve a superior sear on the steak cubes. If you are preparing this ahead of time, undercook the steak slightly as it will firm up when reheated. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days and reheat in a pan with a splash of beef broth to maintain moisture. Ensure the steak is at room temperature before searing to ensure even cooking and a tender texture.
