Ingredients

Scale

For the Steak and Potatoes

  • 1½ lbs sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1½ lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 4 tablespoons butter, divided

Seasonings

  • 5–6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For Serving

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Potatoes: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the halved or quartered baby potatoes, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to a plate and set aside.
  2. Season the Steak: While the potatoes cook, season the steak cubes generously with salt, black pepper, and dried Italian herbs, tossing to coat evenly.
  3. Sear the Steak: In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Once the butter melts, add the steak cubes in a single layer (work in batches if needed for a good sear). Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until the steak is browned but still juicy inside. Don’t overcrowd or overcook.
  4. Add Garlic Butter: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and stir in the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the garlic is very fragrant.
  5. Combine and Finish: Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet and toss everything together so the steak and potatoes are coated in the garlicky butter. Cook for 1–2 more minutes, stirring, until heated through and flavors meld.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat. Sprinkle the dish with plenty of chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • For the juiciest steak, avoid overcooking—medium-rare or medium is ideal.
  • Cut potatoes into even pieces for faster, uniform cooking.
  • You can add a splash of lemon juice or a pinch of chili flakes for extra flavor.
  • Use Yukon gold or red potatoes for best texture.
  • This dish is perfect on its own, but pairs well with a crisp salad or steamed green vegetables.
