🍽️ Ingredients (Measured in grams for accuracy)
For the Steak and Potatoes:
- Sirloin steak (cut into bite-sized cubes) – 500g
- Baby potatoes (halved or quartered) – 400g
- Olive oil – 20g
- Salt – 5g (to taste)
- Black pepper – 2g (to taste)
- Fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish) – 5g
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish) – 10g
For the Garlic Butter Sauce:
- Unsalted butter – 60g
- Garlic (minced) – 15g
- Fresh thyme (optional, for extra flavor) – 5g
- Fresh lemon juice (optional, for brightness) – 5g
- Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat) – 1g
👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Potatoes
- Heat 10g of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the halved or quartered baby potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the skillet and set them aside. Reduce the heat to medium.
Step 2: Cook the Steak Bites
- In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and allow it to heat up.
- Add the steak bites to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure the steak bites sear properly. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness.
- Once the steak bites are cooked, remove them from the skillet and set them aside.
Step 3: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. If using fresh thyme or red pepper flakes, add them at this point and cook for another 1 minute.
- Stir in the lemon juice (if using), then return the steak bites and potatoes to the skillet. Toss everything together so that the steak bites and potatoes are well-coated in the garlic butter sauce.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing everything to warm through and the flavors to meld.
Step 4: Serve
- Garnish with fresh parsley and rosemary (if using), then serve immediately with your favorite side dish or enjoy it on its own.

💡 Tips & Tricks
- Steak Choice: While sirloin steak works well for this recipe, you can also use ribeye, flank steak, or tenderloin for even more flavor and tenderness.
- Potato Options: If you prefer, you can use Yukon gold potatoes or russet potatoes instead of baby potatoes. Just make sure to cut them into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
- Make It Spicier: If you like some heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or more red pepper flakes to the garlic butter sauce.
- One-Pan Meal: This recipe is designed to be a one-pan meal, making cleanup easy. However, if your skillet is too small, you can cook the potatoes and steak in batches.
- Flavor Variations: For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of balsamic vinegar or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese at the end.
🌟 From the Chef – A Personal Touch
Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes has become a household favorite for me, especially when I’m craving a satisfying meal that doesn’t take too long to prepare. The steak is so tender and flavorful, and the potatoes get the perfect crispy texture while soaking up all the delicious garlic butter sauce.
What I love most about this dish is that it’s flexible—if you have other veggies on hand, you can easily toss them into the skillet for an added boost of nutrition. Brussels sprouts, bell peppers, or even some greens would pair beautifully with the steak and potatoes.
This is a recipe that’s sure to impress anyone you cook it for, whether you’re making it for a special dinner or simply enjoying a comforting meal on a busy weeknight.
