Garlic butter steak bites and potatoes is a quick one-skillet meal featuring tender seared steak cubes and crispy golden potatoes tossed with garlic, butter, and herbs for a rich and satisfying dinner.

  • Total Time: 29 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup ghee or butter, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 1/4 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter or ghee.
  2. Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet and sprinkle with garlic, thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Cook the potatoes for 2–3 minutes without stirring to begin browning.
  4. Continue cooking for 8–10 minutes, stirring every 1–2 minutes, until the potatoes are golden and fork-tender.
  5. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
  6. Increase heat to medium-high and add the remaining butter or ghee to the skillet.
  7. Add the steak cubes in a single layer and season lightly with additional salt and pepper.
  8. Cook the steak undisturbed for about 2 minutes to develop a good sear.
  9. Stir the steak and cook another 1–2 minutes until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.
  10. Return the potatoes to the skillet and toss everything together until well combined.
  11. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  12. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Cut potatoes into evenly sized cubes so they cook at the same rate.
  • Sirloin works well for steak bites, but ribeye or strip steak can also be used.
  • A cast iron skillet helps create the best browning and flavor.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan so the steak can sear properly.
  • Add vegetables like mushrooms, onions, or bell peppers for extra flavor.
