Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Roasted Potatoes:
Ingredients
For the Steak Bites:
1.5 lbs (680 g) sirloin steak, ribeye, or tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
For the Roasted Potatoes:
1.5 lbs (680 g) baby or Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Prepare the Roasted Potatoes:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, rosemary or thyme, salt, and pepper.
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
2. Cook the Steak Bites:
Prepare the Steak: Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
Sear the Steak: Heat a large skillet (cast iron preferred) over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat until shimmering. Add the steak bites in a single layer (work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding) and sear for about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove the steak bites and set aside.
Make the Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Melt the butter, then stir in the minced garlic and thyme. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Combine: Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss them in the garlic butter for 1-2 minutes to coat evenly.
3. Serve:
Arrange the roasted potatoes on a serving plate or individual plates.
Top with the garlic butter steak bites.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Optional Additions:
Vegetables: Add sautéed green beans, asparagus, or a fresh side salad for a complete meal.
Spice it Up: Sprinkle red chili flakes over the steak bites for a hint of heat.
