Garlic Butter Steak Bites Potatoes (Print)

Tender steak bites and golden potatoes tossed in buttery garlic sauce for an easy, delicious main course.

# Ingredients:

→ Meats

01 - 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

→ Vegetables

02 - 1 pound baby potatoes, quartered
03 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

→ Fats & Flavorings

05 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
06 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

→ Spices & Seasonings

07 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
08 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
09 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the quartered potatoes and season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are golden and tender, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove potatoes to a plate and cover to keep warm.
02 - Pat steak cubes thoroughly dry using paper towels and season evenly with salt and black pepper.
03 - In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil. Once hot, arrange steak bites in a single layer. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning for an even brown crust and cooking to preferred doneness. Work in batches if necessary. Transfer steak to the plate with potatoes.
04 - Reduce heat to low. Add unsalted butter and minced garlic to the skillet, stirring until aromatic, about 30 seconds.
05 - Return steak and potatoes to the skillet, tossing everything thoroughly in the garlic butter. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top and serve immediately.

# Pro Tips:

01 -
  • This dish tastes like steakhouse fare made in one pan—you’ll feel like you’ve found a shortcut no one told you about.
  • It’s become my standby for fuss-free entertaining because it’s secretly so easy, but the garlicky butter always gets raves from everyone at the table.
02 -
  • Crowding the pan will steam the steak and leave it pale—give it space and do batches for perfect browning.
  • I once forgot to dry the steak cubes and wound up with gray, soggy bites—now I never skip that step.
03 -
  • Let the steak rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking—it sears better and cooks evenly.
  • A pinch of smoked paprika goes a long way—it’s the not-so-secret ingredient that leaves people wondering what’s making everything taste so good.
