A simple, one-pan recipe for tender steak and crispy potatoes coated in a rich garlic butter sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 lb small potatoes (like Yukon Gold or red potatoes), quartered
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat the steak cubes dry and season them with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they start to brown and soften. Remove the potatoes and set them aside.
  4. Add the seasoned steak cubes to the hot skillet. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Do not overcrowd the pan; work in batches if necessary. Remove the steak and set it aside with the potatoes.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Cook for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  6. Pour in the beef broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the sauce simmer for 1 minute.
  7. Return the cooked potatoes and steak to the skillet. Toss everything gently to coat in the garlic butter sauce.
  8. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the steak is heated through and the potatoes are fully coated.
  9. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For the best sear on your steak, ensure the skillet is hot before adding the meat.
  • If you prefer softer potatoes, cover the skillet for the first 5 minutes of cooking them.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check steak doneness; aim for 130°F for medium-rare.
