Description

This Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes recipe offers a quick and flavorful meal combining tender sirloin steak cubes seared to perfection with golden, fork-tender Yukon Gold potatoes, all tossed in rich garlic herb butter for an irresistible dish perfect for any weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Steak and Potatoes

  • 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 teaspoon salt (divided use)
  • 1 teaspoon pepper (divided use)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (divided use)

Fats and Oils

  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil (divided use)
  • 2 Tablespoons Kerrygold garlic and herb butter sticks (or more, to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat skillet: Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat for a couple of minutes to ensure even cooking.
  2. Add fat for potatoes: Add 1 Tablespoon olive oil and 1 Tablespoon garlic herb butter to the skillet to melt and create a flavorful base for the potatoes.
  3. Cook potatoes: Add the bite-sized Yukon Gold potatoes to the skillet. Season with ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Stir to coat evenly.
  4. Simmer potatoes: Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook the potatoes for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid burning and promote even cooking, until they are fork-tender and golden brown.
  5. Season steak: While potatoes cook, season the sirloin steak cubes with the remaining ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder to ensure well-balanced seasoning.
  6. Make room for steak: Once potatoes are cooked, push them to one side of the pan or remove if concerned about burning during steak cooking.
  7. Add fat for steak: Add 1 Tablespoon olive oil and 1 Tablespoon garlic herb butter to the empty side of the skillet, increasing the heat to medium-high to prepare for searing the steak.
  8. Sear steak bites: Place the seasoned steak cubes in the pan, searing for 3–4 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding, removing potatoes if necessary to prevent burning.
  9. Combine and coat: Lower heat to medium-low, add extra garlic butter if desired, allowing it to melt and coat both the steak bites and potatoes. Toss gently to evenly distribute the garlic buttery glaze.
  10. Final seasoning and serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve immediately for a delicious, comforting meal.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of garlic herb butter depending on your taste preference for a richer or lighter flavor.
  • Cooking steak in batches prevents overcrowding, ensuring a better sear and even cooking.
  • If potatoes start to brown too quickly during cooking, reduce the heat to medium-low to prevent burning.
  • Use a cast iron skillet or a heavy-bottom pan for best heat retention and searing results.
  • This dish pairs well with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
