Ingredients
1 lb steak (ribeye, sirloin, or your choice), cut into bite-sized cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 lb baby potatoes, halved
4 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Directions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak cubes with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Add the steak to the skillet in a single layer and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the halved baby potatoes and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy on the outside.
While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and thyme, and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Once the potatoes are cooked, return the steak bites to the skillet with the potatoes. Pour the garlic butter over the steak and potatoes and toss everything together to coat.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
