Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) steak (sirloin, ribeye, or tenderloin), cubed into 1-inch pieces
- 1 lb (450 g) baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- 3 tbsps olive oil, divided
- 3 tbsps unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Potato Preparation: Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, introducing potatoes seasoned with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Sauté for 10-12 minutes, stirring intermittently until potatoes develop a golden exterior and tender interior. Transfer potatoes to a separate plate.
- Steak Searing: Using the identical skillet, increase heat to high and introduce additional olive oil. Season steak cubes with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Arrange steak in a single layer, creating a caramelized exterior by searing 2-3 minutes per side until desired doneness is achieved. Remove steak from skillet.
- Garlic Butter Infusion: Reduce skillet temperature to medium, allowing butter to melt completely. Incorporate minced garlic and optional chili flakes, releasing aromatic flavors for approximately 30 seconds.
- Final Integration: Reintroduce potatoes and steak into the skillet, thoroughly coating ingredients with garlic butter sauce. Gently toss for 2 minutes, ensuring uniform heating and flavor distribution.
- Presentation: Sprinkle fresh parsley across the dish, serving immediately alongside green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal experience.
Notes
- Use a heavy-bottomed cast iron or stainless steel skillet for even heat distribution and perfect browning.
- Cut potatoes into uniform cubes to ensure even cooking and crispy exterior.
- Pat steak dry before seasoning to achieve a perfect sear and prevent steaming instead of browning.
- Add garlic at the end of cooking to prevent burning and maintain its rich, aromatic flavor.
