Instructions

Prep the Potatoes:

  • Halve the baby potatoes and toss them in a mixing bowl with olive oil, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.

Cook the Potatoes:

  • Skillet Method: Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crispy and tender.
  • Air Fryer Method: Cook potatoes in the air fryer at 400°F for 10 minutes.

Sear the Steak:

  • While the potatoes cook, pat the steak cubes dry and season with salt and pepper.
  • In the same skillet (or a separate pan), heat 1 tbsp olive oil over high heat. Add steak cubes in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.

Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:

  • Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir until butter melts and garlic becomes fragrant (about 1-2 minutes).

Combine and Serve:

  • Toss the cooked potatoes and steak bites in the garlic butter sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

    • Potatoes: ~150 kcal
    • Garlic Butter Sauce: ~100 kcal
  2. Healthier Swaps:
    • Use olive oil instead of butter to reduce saturated fat.
    • Swap regular potatoes for sweet potatoes to increase fiber and vitamin A.
  3. Balanced Meal:
    • Pair with a side salad or steamed veggies to add fiber and nutrients.
  • Marinate for Extra Flavor: Soak steak cubes in a simple marinade (soy sauce + Worcestershire) for 15 minutes before cooking.
  • Use Stew Meat: If sirloin is too pricey, stew meat works great—just cut it into 1-inch cubes.
  • Make It Healthier: Swap butter for olive oil and add a side salad for balance.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet for best results.
