How to Make Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes Delight

Making Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes Delight is simple and straightforward. You’ll enjoy the process from start to finish.

Ingredients:

¼ cup ghee or butter, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb Yukon gold potatoes, cut into ½ inch cubes
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1 ¼ lb sirloin steak, cut into ½ inch cubes

Directions:

Begin by heating a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil along with two tablespoons of the ghee to the pan.
Once the ghee has melted, add the potatoes to the skillet and sprinkle the minced garlic, dried thyme, dried oregano, sea salt, and ground black pepper over the potatoes.
Allow the potatoes to cook for 2-3 minutes before stirring. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender, which should take about 8-10 minutes. (Note: Cooking may take longer if the potatoes are crowded in the pan or if the potato pieces are larger.)
Once done, remove the potatoes and any browned bits from the pan and set aside.
