Tender chunks of beef, golden-crisp potatoes, and a luscious garlic butter sauce come together in this quick and easy recipe that’s perfect for busy weeknights or entertaining guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 pound (450g) baby potatoes, halved
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Wash and halve the baby potatoes, pat them dry. Cut the beef into bite-sized cubes and season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. Cook the potatoes: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes, cut side down, and cook for 7-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Stir occasionally. Remove and set aside.
  3. Sear the beef bites: Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Once hot, add the beef cubes in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside with the potatoes.
  4. Make the garlic butter sauce: Lower the heat to medium, melt the butter in the skillet, and add minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  5. Combine and finish: Return the beef and potatoes to the skillet. Toss everything in the garlic butter sauce, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  6. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the dish and serve immediately.

Notes

[‘Pat the beef dry before cooking to ensure a good sear.’, ‘Avoid overcrowding the skillet to prevent steaming instead of searing.’, ‘Stir garlic frequently to prevent burning.’, ‘Use fresh parsley for added flavor and color.’, ‘Preheat the skillet for even cooking and crispiness.’]
