Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 4 Tablespoon unsalted butter or ghee, divided
- 1 lb yukon gold potatoes cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 6 cloves garlic minced, divided
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme chopped, divided
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary chopped, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- Pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 pounds sirloin steaks cut into 1-inch cubes
Instructions
Preparation
- Add the olive oil and 1 Tablespoon of butter to a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Toss in the potatoes and let them cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes to create a lovely crust.
- Continue cooking for 5-6 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender.
- Add 3 cloves of garlic, 1 teaspoon each of rosemary and thyme, plus salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Remove the potatoes and place them on a separate plate or paper towel.
Cooking
- Turn the skillet to high heat, then add the remaining 3 Tablespoons of butter.
- Toss in the steak bites and let them sear for 1-2 minutes without stirring to get the perfect crust.
- Stir in the remaining garlic and cook until golden brown and cooked through (about 135°F), around 1-2 more minutes.
- Toss in the remainder of your herbs, then tilt the skillet so the butter and herbs pool to one side. Spoon that delicious herb butter over the steak bites.
- Add the potatoes back in with the steak and stir well. Serve right away.
Notes
For best results, cut potatoes evenly to ensure they cook uniformly. Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooked steak. If steak's not your preference, it can be substituted with chicken or mushrooms.
