- 1 lb sirloin steak - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter - 1 lb baby potatoes - 4 cloves garlic - Fresh rosemary and thyme - Smoked paprika - Olive oil - Fresh parsley for garnish The main ingredients of this dish create a delicious base. The sirloin steak gives a rich flavor and tender texture. The unsalted butter adds creaminess, while baby potatoes provide a hearty touch. For seasonings, garlic is a must. It brings out the natural flavors of the steak. Fresh rosemary and thyme add a fragrant touch. Smoked paprika gives a subtle kick and depth. You will also need olive oil. This helps to crisp the potatoes while roasting. Fresh parsley adds a pop of color and freshness when serving. Gather these ingredients, and you are ready to start cooking! {{ingredient_image_1}} First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. This adds flavor to the potatoes. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer. This helps them cook evenly. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the potatoes for about 25-30 minutes. You want them golden brown and crispy on the outside. Toss the potatoes halfway through for even roasting. This ensures all sides get that nice crunch. While the potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and let it melt. Season the steak bites with salt and black pepper. Once the butter is sizzling, add the steak pieces in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the skillet for the best sear. After the steak bites are browned, reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet. Stir well to coat the steak bites in the garlic butter. This adds a rich flavor that makes each bite special. Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven and combine them with the steak bites in the skillet. Toss gently to coat the potatoes with the garlic butter. For plating, transfer everything to a serving platter. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for a pop of color and freshness. Serve hot for the best taste! To get a nice crust on your steak bites, heat the pan well. Start with a hot skillet. Add the butter and let it melt. This step is key for flavor. Make sure to season the steak pieces with salt and black pepper. This adds taste and helps to form the crust. Place the steak in a single layer. If your skillet is too full, the steak will steam instead of sear. Cook in batches if needed. Butter adds richness, but you can try other fats too. Ghee or avocado oil can work well. For garlic, feel free to use garlic powder if you're in a pinch. You can also mix in fresh herbs. Chopped parsley, oregano, or basil can add great taste. A pinch of red pepper flakes gives a nice kick. These steak bites pair well with many sides. A fresh salad or roasted veggies can balance the meal. For a heartier option, serve with rice or bread. Sauces can elevate your dish. A creamy garlic sauce or tangy chimichurri works great. You might also try a simple soy sauce for a twist. Enjoy your meal with a side of your choice! Pro Tips Choose the Right Cut: For the best flavor and tenderness, opt for sirloin or ribeye steak. These cuts sear beautifully and will enhance the dish. Let Steak Rest: After cooking, allow the steak bites to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps retain their juices for a more flavorful bite. Adjust Seasoning: Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic, herbs, and spices according to your taste preferences. Personalize it to create your ideal flavor profile. Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme make a significant difference in flavor compared to dried. Use fresh whenever possible for a vibrant taste. {{image_2}} You can swap out steak for chicken or pork. Both work great in this dish. Just cut them into bite-sized pieces, like the steak. For chicken, I recommend using thighs for juiciness. Pork tenderloin is also a fantastic choice. If you want a vegetarian option, try using mushrooms. Portobello or cremini mushrooms add a rich flavor. Cook them the same way as the steak. The garlic butter will make them shine. Feel free to play with spices for new flavors. Instead of smoked paprika, use chili powder for a kick. Or try Italian herbs for a fresh taste. A blend of cumin and coriander can give a warm touch. You can also explore global flavors. Try adding soy sauce for an Asian twist. Or use harissa for a North African vibe. Each variation can change the whole dish. You can use a slow cooker if you want a hands-off meal. Just add all ingredients and let it cook low and slow. This method makes the meat tender and flavorful. An oven can also work well. Sear the steak and then transfer it to the oven. This method cooks everything evenly. Another option is grilling the steak bites. Grilling gives a nice smoky flavor. Just be sure to monitor the heat to prevent overcooking. Each method offers a unique taste experience. To keep your garlic butter steak bites fresh, store them in an airtight container. Make sure the dish is cool before sealing it. Leftovers can last up to three days in the fridge. Keeping them sealed helps prevent moisture loss and keeps flavors intact. When reheating, I recommend using a skillet over medium heat. This keeps the steak bites tender and juicy. Add a little butter to the pan to enhance flavor. Avoid using high heat, as it can overcook the meat and dry it out. Heat until warm, stirring gently. For freezing, pack the steak bites and potatoes in freezer-safe bags. Remove as much air as possible before sealing. This helps prevent freezer burn. You can freeze them for up to three months. When ready to eat, thaw in the fridge overnight. Reheat in a skillet for the best results. To check the doneness of steak, use a meat thermometer. Here are the safe internal temperatures: - Rare: 120°F (49°C) - Medium Rare: 130°F (54°C) - Medium: 140°F (60°C) - Medium Well: 150°F (66°C) - Well Done: 160°F (71°C) For juicy steak bites, aim for medium rare. This gives a nice pink center. Yes, you can use frozen steak and potatoes.
