Garlic Butter Steak Bites Potatoes (Printable)

Tender steak bites and crispy potatoes, finished with a luscious garlic butter sauce and fresh herbs.

# What You'll Need:

→ Meats

01 - 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

→ Vegetables

02 - 1 pound baby potatoes, quartered
03 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

→ Fats & Flavorings

05 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
06 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

→ Spices & Seasonings

07 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
08 - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
09 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

# How To:

01 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add quartered baby potatoes and season with kosher salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are golden brown and tender, approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer potatoes to a plate and cover to keep warm.
02 - Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season all sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
03 - Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan. When hot, arrange steak cubes in a single layer. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side until well browned and cooked to preferred doneness. Cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding. Remove steak and place with the potatoes.
04 - Lower the heat to low. Melt unsalted butter in the skillet, then add minced garlic. Stir constantly until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
05 - Return the steak bites and potatoes to the skillet. Toss thoroughly to coat with garlic butter. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • There's an easy elegance here: big flavor, minimal cleanup, and everyone dives in for seconds before you can blink.
  • Those buttery steak bites somehow make any ordinary weeknight feel just a little more celebratory.
02 -
  • If you crowd the pan with steak bites, they’ll steam instead of sear—so resist the urge to rush and always work in batches.
  • Letting the garlic cook too long or on high heat can make it bitter; keep that heat low and your attention sharp.
03 -
  • Always start with a hot pan—cold oil makes everything soggy.
  • Finishing the dish with a sprinkle of flakey salt and fresh herbs takes it from good to unforgettable.
