Tender steak bites are pan-seared with buttery, garlicky goodness, paired with crispy golden potatoes that soak up all the flavor.

Directions

Step 1

Sear the Potatoes:

Dice 2 medium Yukon gold or red potatoes into small cubes.
Warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add potatoes, season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika.
Sauté for 10–12 minutes, stirring now and then, until everything turns golden and crispy.
Remove and set aside

Step 2

Cook the Steak Bites:

Cut 1 lb (450g) of sirloin or ribeye into bite-sized pieces.
Sprinkle in salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a touch of smoked paprika for bold flavor.
In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter.
Add steak bites in a single layer (don’t overcrowd) and sear 1–2 minutes per side for medium doneness.
Remove steak bites and set aside with the potatoes.

Step 3

Make Garlic Butter Sauce:

In the same pan, melt 2 tbsp butter and sauté 4 minced garlic cloves for 1 minute.
Return the steak bites and potatoes to the pan and toss everything together in the rich garlic butter until well coated.
You can also top it off with freshly chopped parsley or thyme—perfect for adding a burst of color and a fresh, herby finish!

Pro Tips for the Best Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Crispy Potatoes

Use a hot pan to get that perfect sear on the steak without overcooking it.
Cut potatoes small and uniform to cook them evenly and quickly.
For extra richness, add a splash of beef broth or a squeeze of lemon to the garlic butter.
Rest the steak bites for a couple of minutes before tossing back in.

Creative Variations

Spicy Kick – Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or chili powder to the garlic butter sauce for an extra layer of heat.
Extra Garlic – Add more garlic to the sauce or even roasted garlic for a richer flavor.
Creamy Twist – Stir in a tablespoon of heavy cream or sour cream to the garlic butter sauce for a creamy finish.
Herb Infusion – Add fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or oregano to the garlic butter for an aromatic twist.

FAQs

Q: Can I use another type of steak?
Yes! Ribeye, New York strip, or even filet mignon work beautifully.

Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
It’s best fresh, but you can prep the potatoes and steak in advance and cook when ready.

Q: What’s the best pan to use?
A cast iron skillet gives the best sear and holds heat well, but any large nonstick pan will do.

Q: What can I serve this with?
Serve with a fresh salad, sautéed green beans, or roasted asparagus for a full meal.
