Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes Skillet
Ingredients:
– 1 lb (450 g) sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes (you can also use ribeye or strip steak)
– 1 lb (450 g) baby potatoes, halved or quartered if large
– 4 tablespoons butter, divided
– 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
– 5 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or fresh if available)
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon dried parsley
– Salt and black pepper, to taste
– Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Potatoes:**
– In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat.
– Add the potatoes, cut side down, and season with salt, pepper, and half of the rosemary and thyme.
– Cook the potatoes for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender. Once done, remove the potatoes from the skillet and set them aside.
2. **Cook the Steak:**
– Season the steak cubes with salt, pepper, and the remaining rosemary and thyme.
– In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
– Add the steak cubes in a single layer and sear on each side for about 2-3 minutes, until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, the internal temperature should be about 130°F (54°C). Adjust cooking time according to your preference.
3. **Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:**
– Push the steak to the side of the skillet, or transfer it to a plate if needed.
– Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet along with the minced garlic.
– Sauté the garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant, then mix it with the steak. Return the potatoes to the skillet and toss everything together to coat in the garlic butter sauce.
4. **Garnish and Serve:**
– Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
Tips:
– **Steak Cuts:** Feel free to use your preferred cut of steak. Adjust cooking times based on the thickness of the steak cubes.
– **Potato Alternatives:** You can substitute baby potatoes with fingerling or red potatoes, making sure they are cut into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.
