how to make Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes Delight

Heat a heavy skillet and cook the potatoes first so they get golden and tender. Set the potatoes aside, then sear the steak cubes in the same pan to keep the browned bits and flavor. Finish by adding garlic and butter, and toss the steak with the potatoes so they soak up the sauce. Serve hot.

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.

how to serve Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes Delight

Serve hot right from the pan. Plate the potatoes and top with the steak bites. Add a pat of butter or a sprinkle of fresh parsley if you like. This works well with a green salad or steamed veggies on the side.

how to store Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes Delight

Cool leftovers to room temperature. Place in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat to keep the steak tender and potatoes crisp. Avoid the microwave for best texture.

tips to make Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes Delight

• Cut the steak and potatoes into even pieces so they cook at the same rate.
• Do not crowd the pan when searing the steak; work in batches if needed.
• Use a hot pan to get a good sear on the steak.
• Let the steak rest a few minutes after cooking for juicier bites.
• Taste and adjust salt and pepper at the end.

variation (if any)

• Add sliced mushrooms and onions to the pan when you cook the steak for more flavor.
• Swap sirloin for ribeye for richer flavor.
• Use sweet potatoes instead of Yukon gold for a sweeter twist.
• Add a splash of Worcestershire or soy sauce when finishing for extra depth.

FAQs

Q: Can I use frozen potatoes?
A: Fresh potatoes work best. If you use frozen, thaw and dry them well so they brown.

Q: How do I avoid chewy steak?
A: Do not overcook. Sear on high heat and keep cook time short. Rest the steak a few minutes before serving.

Q: Can I make this ahead?
A: You can cook and cool the components separately, then reheat in a skillet. Fresh is best, but this reheats well.

Q: What cut of steak is best?
A: Sirloin is a good balance of flavor and price. Ribeye is richer, and flank can work if sliced thin.

Q: Can I use butter instead of ghee?
A: Yes. Butter adds flavor but watch the heat to avoid burning.
