Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter divided
- 1 1/2 pounds baby red or gold potatoes cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 5 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak 1-inch cubes
- fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large cast iron skillet set over medium-high heat.
- Stir in the potatoes. Season with the rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper and cook for 8 to 9 minutes, stirring frequently until the potatoes are fork tender. Trasfer the potatoes to a bowl and set aside.
- Return the skillet to the stovetop over high heat. Melt the remaining butter, then add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the steak cubes in a single layer and sear for 60 to 90 seconds on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Return the potatoes back to the skillet and toss together. Taste and season as desired. Then serve garnished with fresh chopped parsley.

Notes
- Doneness: Cook your steak to the level of your desired doneness. Check the internal temperature of the steak with a meat thermometer.
- For rare steak: 125-130° F
- For medium-rare: 130-140° F
- For medium steak: 140-150° F
- For medium-well steak: 150-160° F
- ]For well-done steak: 160-165° F
- Overcrowding: Don’t overcrowd the skillet when you cook the potatoes and the steak. Use a large enough skillet so that the steak can sear in a single layer
- Uniform size cubes: Make sure that the potatoes and steak are cut into uniform-sized cubes to ensure even cooking. Having some cubes of meat or potatoes bigger or smaller may result in undercooked or overcooked pieces.
- Storage: Store leftover garlic steak bites and potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 to 3 days. Reheat it in an oiled pan over low heat until heated through.
