Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound sirloin steak – cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes – cut into bite-sized cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil – divided use
- 2 tablespoons garlic and herb butter – divided use
- 1 teaspoon salt – divided use
- 1 teaspoon pepper – divided use
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder – divided use
Instructions
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until hot.
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon garlic herb butter. Once melted, add the diced Yukon Gold potatoes.
- Season potatoes with ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder. Cover and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden and fork-tender.
- While the potatoes cook, season steak cubes with remaining salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Push cooked potatoes to one side of the skillet (or remove them). Add remaining olive oil and butter to the other side and increase heat to medium-high.
- Add steak bites and sear for 3–4 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
- Lower the heat to medium-low, return potatoes to the pan, and toss everything in the melted garlic butter until evenly coated.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve hot.
Notes
- Use a hot cast iron skillet for the perfect steak sear.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming.
- Try ribeye, flank, or New York strip if sirloin isn’t available.
- For a dairy-free option, use vegan butter or olive oil.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days and reheat in a skillet.
