Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1.5 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch chunks
Potatoes and Root Vegetables:
- 1 pound Yukon Gold or Red Potatoes, cut into ½ inch chunks
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
Fats, Oils, and Seasonings:
- 4 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Position a cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium-high temperature, preparing for a robust culinary experience.
- Melt butter and olive oil together, creating a sizzling aromatic base that will enhance the dish’s flavor profile.
- Introduce diced potatoes into the skillet, accompanied by minced garlic, oregano, rosemary, salt, and pepper, allowing them to dance and caramelize.
- Stir potatoes periodically, ensuring even browning and developing a crisp exterior while maintaining a tender interior.
- Once potatoes reach a golden hue and fork-tender consistency, transfer them to a separate bowl, reserving for later integration.
- Elevate the skillet’s temperature to high, adding remaining butter to create an intense cooking environment.
- Carefully arrange steak bites in a single layer, allowing one side to develop a rich, caramelized sear without disturbance.
- Gently maneuver steak bites, continuing to cook until achieving desired doneness, maintaining their succulent texture.
- Remove skillet from heat and reunite cooked potatoes with steak, gently tossing to harmonize flavors and temperatures.
- Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley for a vibrant finishing touch, adding visual appeal and herbaceous notes.
- Serve immediately, presenting a rustic and elegant dish directly from the skillet for maximum sensory impact.
- Preserve any remaining portions in an airtight container, refrigerating and consuming within three days for optimal taste and quality.
Notes
- Searing the steak bites at high heat creates a delicious golden-brown crust, locking in juicy flavors and ensuring a perfect restaurant-quality texture.
- Using a cast iron or non-stick skillet helps achieve even cooking and prevents sticking, making the preparation process smooth and effortless.
- Cooking potatoes first allows them to develop a crispy exterior and tender interior, infusing them with aromatic garlic and herb seasonings.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan when cooking steak bites to ensure each piece gets a perfect sear and doesn’t steam instead of browning.
- Fresh parsley adds a bright, fresh finish that elevates the rich, buttery flavors of the steak and potatoes.
- Leftover steak bites can be quickly reheated and remain tasty for up to 3 days when stored properly in an airtight container.
