Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4


Ingredients

  • For the Steak:
    • 1 lb (450g) sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • For the Potatoes:
    • 1 lb (450g) baby potatoes, halved
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
    • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • For the Garlic Butter Sauce:
    • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 4 garlic cloves, minced
    • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
    • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes:
    • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
    • Add the halved baby potatoes, cut side down. Sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
    • Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden brown and tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Cook the Steak:
    • While the potatoes cook, season the steak cubes with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
    • Heat olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak cubes in a single layer.
    • Sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked to your desired doneness (medium-rare: 135°F, medium: 145°F). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
    • Lower the heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet and let it melt.
    • Stir in minced garlic and thyme, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Combine Everything:
    • Return the potatoes and steak to the skillet. Toss to coat everything in the garlic butter sauce.
    • Cook for 2-3 more minutes to heat through.
  5. Serve:
    • Transfer to a serving dish or serve directly from the skillet. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
  • Serve with a side of crusty bread to soak up the garlic butter sauce.
