Steak Bites
- 1 lb well-marbled sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Potatoes
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved or quartered depending on size
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Prepare the potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the halved or quartered baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon olive oil, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until crispy on the edges and tender inside, flipping halfway through cooking.
- Prepare the steak bites: While the potatoes roast, season the sirloin steak pieces generously with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites in a single layer, cooking for about 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove steak bites from skillet and set aside.
- Make the garlic butter sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium, add remaining 1 tablespoon butter and minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Stir in dried thyme and rosemary for added aroma.
- Combine and finish: Return the steak bites to the skillet, tossing them gently with the garlic butter sauce to coat evenly. Heat through for another minute to blend flavors.
- Serve: Plate the roasted potatoes and top with garlic butter steak bites. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy the indulgent flavors.
Notes
- Use well-marbled sirloin steak to ensure tender, juicy steak bites.
- Ensure potatoes are evenly cut to promote even cooking and crispiness.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when searing steak bites; cook in batches if necessary.
- Fresh garlic adds the best flavor, but garlic powder can be used in a pinch.
- Adjust herb quantities to your taste preference for thyme and rosemary.
- Let the steak rest a few minutes after cooking if not serving immediately for juicier results.
