Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1.5 lbs beef sirloin or ribeye steak
Potatoes and Vegetables:
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes
- 1 medium red onion
- 2 cups fresh parsley
Seasoning and Sauce:
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
Instructions
- Quarter the baby potatoes to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Dice the red onion into uniform pieces for consistent caramelization.
- Cut the steak into bite-sized cubes, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
- Mince the garlic cloves finely to distribute flavor evenly throughout the dish.
- Preheat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan to medium-high heat (around 400°F).
- Toss potato chunks with olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary, then spread on a baking sheet.
- Roast potatoes in a preheated oven at 425°F for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through for golden crispness.
- While potatoes roast, pat steak cubes dry with paper towels to ensure proper searing.
- Season steak bites with salt and pepper, preparing them for high-heat cooking.
- Add olive oil to the hot skillet and sear steak cubes for 2-3 minutes, creating a rich brown crust.
- Remove steak from pan and set aside, keeping it warm.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant and golden.
- Add roasted potatoes and diced onions to the garlic butter, gently tossing to coat.
- Return steak bites to the skillet, quickly warming them in the aromatic butter.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the entire dish for a bright, fresh finish.
- Serve immediately while hot, allowing the garlic butter to enhance the meat and potato flavors.
Notes
- Pat steak cubes completely dry before searing to achieve a perfect golden-brown crust and prevent steaming instead of browning.
- Use high smoke point oils like avocado or grapeseed for initial searing to prevent burning and maintain optimal cooking temperature.
- Rest steak bites briefly after initial cooking to retain maximum juiciness and prevent overcooking during final warming.
- Customize seasoning by experimenting with herb blends like Italian or Cajun for different flavor profiles without compromising cooking technique.
