Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) boneless, skinless sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch pieces
Vegetables:
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound (454 grams) small potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Seasonings and Fats:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare steak cubes by seasoning thoroughly with salt and freshly ground black pepper in a mixing container, ensuring even coating.
- Preheat a robust skillet over medium-high temperature, then introduce olive oil to create a sizzling surface.
- Carefully place seasoned steak pieces into the hot skillet, allowing each side to develop a rich, caramelized exterior through strategic turning, approximately 5-6 minutes total.
- Transfer beautifully seared steak to a temporary holding plate, preserving its succulent interior.
- In the same skillet, introduce finely diced onions and minced garlic, allowing them to soften and release their aromatic essence over gentle heat.
- Melt rich butter into the vegetable mixture, incorporating chopped parsley and dried thyme to create a fragrant, herbaceous foundation.
- Gently introduce quartered potatoes into the skillet, rotating them to ensure complete coverage with the herb-infused butter mixture.
- Allow potatoes to develop a golden, crispy exterior while maintaining a tender interior, stirring periodically to prevent uneven cooking.
- Reintroduce the reserved steak cubes into the skillet, gently folding all ingredients to harmonize flavors and reheat the meat.
- Plate immediately, presenting a vibrant, aromatic dish that promises a delightful culinary experience.
Notes
- Enhance flavor by marinating steak in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for 30 minutes before cooking to intensify taste and tenderize meat.
- For crispy potato edges, pat potatoes dry with paper towels before adding to skillet and ensure pan is hot enough to create golden-brown caramelization.
- Choose tender cuts like sirloin or ribeye for most succulent steak bites, cutting against the grain into uniform bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
- Transform recipe into low-carb option by replacing potatoes with cauliflower or turnips, maintaining the delicious garlic butter essence while reducing carbohydrate content.
