- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces - 1 lb baby potatoes, halved - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter - 4 cloves garlic, minced - 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried) - 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried) - Salt and pepper, to taste - 1 tablespoon olive oil - Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish When I make Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes, I gather my main ingredients first. The sirloin steak is key because it is tender and flavorful. I cut it into bite-sized pieces for quick cooking. Next, I take baby potatoes. Halving them helps them cook evenly and soak up all the delicious butter and garlic. Butter is the star here. I use unsalted butter to control the salt. Garlic adds a sharp taste that blends perfectly with the butter. I always use fresh garlic for a great flavor boost. For seasoning, I rely on fresh herbs. Rosemary and thyme bring a lovely aroma. I also use salt and pepper to enhance the dish's flavor. I make sure to taste as I go. Finally, I add olive oil to the potatoes. It helps them roast nicely. When everything is ready, I finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley. This adds color and a fresh taste to the dish. First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will help the potatoes roast perfectly. Next, take 1 lb of baby potatoes and cut them in half. In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Make sure they are well coated. Now, spread the potatoes out on a baking sheet in a single layer. This helps them cook evenly. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the potatoes for about 20-25 minutes. Stir them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they brown nicely. You want them to be fork-tender and golden brown when done. While the potatoes roast, it’s time to cook the steak bites. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter and let it melt until it bubbles. Once the butter is bubbling, add 4 cloves of minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté the garlic for about 30 seconds. You want it to smell great, but don’t let it brown. Next, raise the heat to high and add 1 lb of sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces. Season the steak with salt, pepper, 1 teaspoon of fresh rosemary, and 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme. Cook the steak for about 2-3 minutes on each side. This will give you a nice brown crust and a juicy inside. Cook it to your preferred doneness. Choosing the right cut of steak is key. I recommend using sirloin for its great taste and tenderness. Cut the steak into bite-sized pieces, about one inch thick. This size cooks evenly and stays juicy. When cooking steak, doneness matters. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of about 130°F (54°C). For medium, go for 140°F (60°C). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy. Timing is everything when it comes to garlic. Sauté it in melted butter for about 30 seconds. Watch closely as you don’t want it to brown. Brown garlic can taste bitter. If you want to add more flavor, try using herbs. Fresh rosemary and thyme work well. You can also use dried versions if fresh ones aren't available. Just remember, dried herbs are stronger, so use less. For a family-style meal, use a large platter. Arrange the steak bites around the roasted potatoes. Drizzle any leftover garlic butter on top for extra flavor. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. This adds color and freshness to your dish. You can also sprinkle some extra herbs for a beautiful finish. {{image_4}} You can switch the sirloin steak for other cuts. Flank steak or ribeye work well too. They each give a unique taste. If you prefer chicken, use boneless thighs or breasts. Pork tenderloin is another tasty choice. Just adjust cooking times to match the protein. Chicken and pork may take longer to cook. Adding veggies can make this dish more colorful and healthy. You can toss in seasonal veggies like bell peppers, zucchini, or asparagus. Cut them into similar sizes for even cooking. Roasting the vegetables along with the potatoes gives a nice crunch. Just remember to adjust the cooking time based on the veggies you choose. You don't have to stick with plain garlic butter. Try adding herbs like basil or oregano for a twist. You can also use flavored butters, like garlic herb or chili butter. Olive oil infused with garlic or spices can change the flavor too. Experimenting with different oils and spice blends can lead to new favorites! Store your garlic butter steak bites and potatoes in an airtight container. Let them cool to room temperature first. This helps keep flavors fresh. In the fridge, they last for about 3 days. If you notice any off smell or color, it’s best to toss them. To reheat, use a skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of water or broth if needed. Cover it to keep moisture in. Heat until warm, about 5-7 minutes. This method helps prevent dryness. You can also use the microwave. Just cover the plate and heat for 1-2 minutes. Stir halfway for even warming. Yes, you can freeze leftovers. Use a freezer-safe container. Wrap the food tightly to prevent freezer burn. They can stay in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw overnight in the fridge. To reheat, use the skillet method mentioned above for best results. To check if the steak is done, use a meat thermometer. Aim for 130°F for medium-rare and 145°F for medium. If you don’t have a thermometer, press the steak with your finger. A soft feel means it’s rare. A firmer feel means it’s medium. For well-done, it should feel very firm. Always let steak rest for a few minutes after cooking for juiciness. Yes, you can prepare parts of this dish ahead of time. Store cooked steak bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. For the potatoes, follow the same storage tips. When you want to eat, reheat everything in the oven. This keeps the steak tender and the potatoes crispy. This dish pairs well with many sides. Try a fresh green salad for crunch. Steamed broccoli adds a nice color and flavor. Garlic bread can be a tasty addition, too. For a light touch, serve with a simple cucumber salad. Each of these options creates a complete meal that everyone will love. This recipe for Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Baby Potatoes is simple and delicious.

Ingredients
  

1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 lb baby potatoes, halved

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried)

1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes.

    Prepare the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with the olive oil, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even roasting.

      Roast the Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for about 20-25 minutes. They should become fork-tender and golden brown. Be sure to stir the potatoes halfway through to promote even cooking.

        Cook the Steak Bites: While the potatoes are roasting, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the unsalted butter and allow it to melt, creating a rich, bubbling base for the steak.

          Sauté the Garlic: Once the butter is fully melted and begins to bubble, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 30 seconds, or until the garlic is fragrant but not browned, to prevent any bitterness.

            Add the Steak: Raise the heat to high and carefully add the steak bites to the skillet in a single layer. Season generously with salt, pepper, fresh rosemary, and thyme. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side until the steak is nicely browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.

              Combine with Potatoes: When the steak bites are cooked to your liking, remove both the skillet and the baking sheet with the potatoes from the heat. For a harmonious flavor blend, you may toss the roasted potatoes in the skillet with the steak and garlic butter.

                Serve: Transfer the succulent steak bites and golden potatoes onto a large serving platter. For a touch of freshness and color, garnish with a generous sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley.

                  Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 40 minutes | Servings: 4

                    - Presentation Tips: For an inviting family-style meal, serve the dish on a large platter. Arrange the steak bites artistically around the potatoes, and drizzle any remaining garlic butter from the skillet over the top for an enhanced flavor experience. A final touch of fresh parsley will elevate the visual appeal of the dish.
