What cut of steak is best for this recipe?

Sirloin steak works great because it’s lean yet tender and sears nicely. You can also use ribeye or strip steak if you want something a bit richer and more marbled.

Can I use frozen potatoes for this dish?

Fresh baby potatoes give the best texture and flavor, but if you use frozen, make sure to thaw and pat them dry first. This helps prevent steaming instead of frying, which can make them mushy.

How do I avoid overcooking the steak bites?

Keep an eye on the cooking time — 4 to 6 minutes total usually does it, but it depends on your stove and how big the steak cubes are. Remove the pan from heat as soon as it’s done to your liking because the meat will keep cooking slightly from residual heat.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Absolutely! All ingredients in this Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Potatoes Recipe are naturally gluten-free. Just be sure to check any additional condiments or sides you serve to keep the meal gluten-free.

Instructions

Prep Potatoes: Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the cubed potatoes, minced garlic, fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, rosemary), and red pepper flakes. Cook for 6 minutes until the potatoes are tender but still firm. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
Cook Steak: Discard any burnt garlic and herbs from the skillet. Increase the heat to high and add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil along with 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sirloin steak cubes and sear for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Season with salt and pepper.
Combine: Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the steak. Stir and cook together for 1 minute to heat through and allow flavors to meld. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the skillet when cooking the steak to ensure it sears properly and develops a good crust.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to match your desired spice level.
Use fresh herbs for the best flavor, but dried herbs can be substituted using one-third the amount.
For extra richness, baste the steak with the melted butter in the pan while cooking.
Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
