Equipment
- 1 large skillet
- 1 cutting board
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 spatula
- 1 set measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 pound sirloin steak, cubed
- 2 medium potatoes, diced (about 1 pound total)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme)
- to taste fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by peeling and dicing the potatoes into small, even cubes for even cooking.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and crispy, about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the potatoes are cooking, season the steak cubes with salt, pepper, and thyme.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the cubed steak. Sear the steak on high heat for 2-3 minutes until browned. Avoid overcrowding the skillet; you may need to do this in batches based on the pan size.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the minced garlic and butter to the skillet with the steak, stirring to coat the steak in the garlic butter for about 2 minutes, until fragrant and the steak is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Return the crispy potatoes to the skillet, gently folding them into the steak and garlic butter mixture.
- Cook together for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
- Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
For a little extra flavor, consider adding red pepper flakes for some heat or a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the steak. Make sure not to overcook the steak; it’s best served medium-rare to medium. This dish pairs well with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
