Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 lb small potatoes, quartered
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Season the steak cubes generously with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add potatoes to the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and tender. Remove potatoes and set aside.
Add the seasoned steak cubes to the same skillet. Sear on all sides until browned, about 4-6 minutes total. Do not overcrowd the pan; work in batches if necessary.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet.
Cook, stirring constantly, until the butter melts and the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat in the garlic butter sauce.
Cook for 1-2 minutes more until heated through. Taste and add more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve immediately.
Notes
For crispier potatoes, boil them briefly before searing.
Use a cast-iron skillet for the best sear on the steak.
