– 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 2 cups baby potatoes, halved or quartered
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or fresh, if available)
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Creating Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes is a fun and rewarding process. Follow these steps for delicious results:
1. Prep Potatoes: Start by washing the baby potatoes. Halve or quarter them for even cooking.
2. Cook Potatoes: In a large pot, boil the potatoes in salted water until tender (about 10-12 minutes). Drain and set aside.
3. Season Steak: While the potatoes are cooking, season the steak bites generously with salt, pepper, and paprika.
4. Heat Butter: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
5. Cook Steak: Once the butter is sizzling, add the steak bites in a single layer. Let them sear for about 2-3 minutes, then turn to cook for another 2-3 minutes until brown and cooked to your liking. Remove and set aside.
6. Add Garlic: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
7. Add Potatoes: Add the cooked potatoes and thyme to the skillet. Stir well to coat them with the garlic butter and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until slightly crispy.
8. Combine: Return the cooked steak bites to the skillet, tossing everything together gently. Cook for another minute to heat through.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
These straightforward steps will showcase your culinary skills and create a dish that looks as good as it tastes!
