Ingredients:
For the Steak:
- 1 ½ lbs (700g) sirloin steak or ribeye, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional for a smoky kick)
For the Potatoes:
- 1 ½ lbs (700g) baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary
For the Garlic Butter Sauce:
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh thyme or parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp chili flakes (optional for heat)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Potatoes:
Start by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss the halved baby potatoes with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and thyme, then add them to the skillet. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown and tender. Once done, remove them from the skillet and set them aside.
2. Cook the Steak:
Season the steak cubes with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. In the same skillet, heat another 2 tablespoons of olive oil over high heat. Add the steak pieces in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until they’re browned to your liking. (Adjust cooking time based on how well-done you prefer your steak.) Once cooked, remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.
3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
Lower the heat to medium and melt 4 tablespoons of butter in the skillet. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant. Stir in fresh thyme and chili flakes (if you like a little spice).
4. Combine Everything:
Now, add the cooked potatoes and steak back into the skillet. Toss everything together in the garlic butter sauce to coat evenly. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
5. Serve:
Finish it off by garnishing with fresh parsley, extra thyme, or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese (optional). Serve hot, and enjoy the ultimate comfort food! This recipe serves 4 and pairs wonderfully with a side salad or roasted vegetables.
