Ingredients

Scale
  • lbs sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes

  • lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered

  • 4 tbsp olive oil, divided

  • 4 tbsp butter

  • 56 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 1 tsp dried Italian herbs

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Cook the Potatoes

  1. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  2. Add the potatoes and season with salt, pepper, and paprika.

  3. Cook 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and fork-tender.

  4. Remove potatoes from the pan and set aside.

2. Sear the Steak

  1. Season steak cubes with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs.

  2. In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp oil and 2 tbsp butter.

  3. Sear steak in a single layer (cook in batches if needed) 2–3 minutes per side until browned.

  4. Avoid overcooking; steak should remain juicy.

3. Add Garlic and Combine

  1. Reduce heat to medium-low.

  2. Add remaining butter and minced garlic, sauté 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. Return potatoes to the pan and toss with steak and garlic butter.

  4. Cook 1–2 more minutes to heat everything through.

4. Serve

  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Pat steak dry before cooking to get a good sear.

  • Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook steak in batches for even browning.

  • Cut potatoes evenly so they cook at the same rate.

  • For extra flavor, sprinkle a little smoked paprika or chili flakes over the potatoes.
