Ingredients
Scale
For the Potatoes:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 lb baby red and yellow potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 3 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, depending on taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Steak:
- 1 – 1 1/4 lb sirloin steak, cut into one-inch cubes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep Potatoes: Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter with ½ tablespoon of olive oil. Add the cubed potatoes, minced garlic, fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, rosemary), and red pepper flakes. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender but still firm. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook Steak: Discard any burnt garlic and herbs remaining in the skillet. Increase the heat to high and add the remaining ½ tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter has melted and is sizzling, add the sirloin steak cubes and sear them for 4-6 minutes until browned on all sides and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Season with salt and pepper during cooking.
- Combine and Finish: Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the steak. Stir and cook together for about 1 minute until everything is heated through and flavors are combined. Serve hot immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the skillet when cooking the steak to ensure proper searing and caramelization.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your preferred spice level.
- Fresh herbs add vibrant flavor, but dried herbs can be substituted if needed (use about one-third the amount).
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or cast iron pan for best searing results.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes off the heat if you prefer juicier bites before combining with potatoes.
