In a large pot, add the cubes. Cover them with salted water. Turn the heat to high and bring it to a boil. Cook the potatoes for about 10-12 minutes. You want them tender but not mushy. Once done, drain the water and set the potatoes aside. Next, season the sirloin steak cubes with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak cubes in batches. Avoid overcrowding the skillet to get that nice sear. Sear each side for 2-3 minutes until browned. Once browned, remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme. Stir this mixture for about 1-2 minutes. You want the garlic to smell great and the butter to melt. This sauce is what brings all the flavors together. Now, return the steak to the skillet. Add the drained potatoes and gently toss everything together. Make sure the steak and potatoes are well-coated in the garlic butter sauce. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes. This step allows everything to heat through and blend the flavors. Finally, remove from heat. Sprinkle with chopped parsley as a lovely garnish before serving. Enjoy your meal! To get juicy steak bites, choose good meat. Sirloin is a great choice. Cut it into 1-inch cubes for even cooking. Season well with salt and pepper. Heat your pan until it's hot. Sear the steak in batches. This means the pieces won't steam. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side. Look for a nice brown color. This shows you have a good crust. Let the steak rest for a few minutes before serving. This keeps it tender and juicy. For crispy potatoes, start by cutting them into small cubes. This helps them cook faster. Boil the diced potatoes first to soften them. Cook for about 10-12 minutes until they are tender. After draining, let them sit for a minute. This helps to dry them out. When you add them to the skillet, use a bit of oil. This will make them crisp up nicely. Stir them gently to avoid breaking them apart. You can add extra flavor to your garlic butter. Try mixing in some chili flakes for heat. A splash of lemon juice can brighten the dish. For a twist, swap out the herbs. Use basil or oregano for a different taste. You can also add vegetables. Bell peppers or mushrooms work well. They add color and flavor. Don’t forget to garnish with fresh parsley. It makes the dish look great and adds freshness. Pro Tips Rest the Steak: Allow your steak bites to rest for a few minutes after cooking to help retain their juices. Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh rosemary and thyme add incredible flavor; dried herbs can be used in a pinch but won't be as vibrant. Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Sear the steak in batches to ensure a nice crust; overcrowding can lead to steaming instead of searing. Perfect Potato Texture: After boiling, let the potatoes sit for a few minutes before adding them to the skillet for a crispier finish. {{image_2}} You can switch up the protein in this dish for variety. Try chicken, shrimp, or even tofu. Each option will give you a new taste. For chicken, cut it into bite-sized pieces and cook it the same way as the steak. Shrimp cooks fast and adds a nice touch. If you want a plant-based option, tofu works great with the garlic butter. Just press it first to remove excess moisture. For veggies, feel free to add bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms. They will soak up the garlic butter flavor well. Just add them in the skillet after the steak. Cook them until tender, then combine with the potatoes and steak. Herbs and spices can change the whole dish. While rosemary and thyme are great, you can try others like oregano or basil. For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or smoked paprika. These flavors can make your garlic butter steak bites even more exciting. You can also mix in some lemon zest for a fresh twist. This will brighten the dish and add a zing. Be creative! Find what flavors you love and use them. This dish works for many occasions. For a casual dinner, serve it in a cast iron skillet and enjoy.
