Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 lb (450g) sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
Potatoes:
- 1 lb (450g) baby potatoes, halved
Seasonings and Flavor Enhancers:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Garnish:
- Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for even cooking and easy cleanup.
- Thoroughly pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels to ensure proper searing and prevent excess moisture during cooking.
- Season the steak cubes generously with salt and pepper, ensuring each piece is evenly coated for maximum flavor.
- Toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl, coating them completely for consistent seasoning.
- Arrange the seasoned potatoes cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer to promote crispy edges and even roasting.
- Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure golden brown surfaces on all sides.
- While potatoes are roasting, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it becomes slightly foamy and fragrant.
- Add minced garlic to the melted butter, sautéing for 30-45 seconds until it becomes aromatic but not browned.
- Carefully add the seasoned steak cubes to the garlic butter, creating a single layer to allow proper searing and caramelization.
- Cook the steak bites for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally to achieve a beautiful golden-brown exterior while maintaining a tender, medium-rare center.
- Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven and transfer the seared steak bites into the same baking sheet.
- Sprinkle fresh parsley, dried thyme or rosemary over the steak and potatoes for an extra layer of herbaceous flavor.
- Optional: Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese for added richness and depth.
- Serve immediately while the steak is hot and potatoes remain crisp, creating a delightful combination of textures and flavors.
Notes
- Select high-quality, well-marbled sirloin steak for maximum tenderness and flavor in your bite-sized pieces.
- Cut potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Pat steak cubes completely dry before seasoning to achieve perfect golden-brown searing and prevent steaming.
- Allow steak to rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before cooking to guarantee even cooking and juicier meat.
- Use cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan for best heat distribution and beautiful caramelization on steak and potatoes.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain high heat and achieve crispy exterior while keeping meat medium-rare.
