Steak bites and potatoes

Here’s a simple and delicious Steak Bites and Potatoes recipe—perfect for a quick, hearty meal:

1 lb steak (sirloin, ribeye, or your favorite cut), cut into bite-sized cubes
4 medium potatoes, diced into 1-inch cubes
2–3 tbsp olive oil (divided)
2 tbsp butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped (optional)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional: chopped parsley for garnish

Cook the potatoes:
- Heat 1–2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add diced potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15–20 minutes until golden and tender.
- Optional: add rosemary or thyme halfway through cooking.
Cook the steak bites:
- While potatoes are cooking, season steak cubes with salt and pepper.
- In a separate skillet or after removing potatoes, heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter over medium-high heat.
- Add steak bites in a single layer (do not overcrowd) and sear 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to desired doneness.
Add garlic and finish:
- Add minced garlic and remaining butter to the steak skillet during the last 1–2 minutes of cooking.
- Toss steak bites in the butter-garlic mixture to coat.
Combine and serve:
- Add cooked potatoes to the skillet with the steak, toss gently, and cook 1–2 minutes to combine flavors.
- Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve hot.

💡 Tips:

Use room-temperature steak for even cooking and better sear.
For extra flavor, sprinkle a bit of smoked paprika or onion powder on the potatoes.
You can finish with a splash of balsamic vinegar or Worcestershire sauce for added depth.
