Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Crispy Potatoes is a one-skillet meal featuring golden-seared steak cubes and crisp baby potatoes tossed in a garlic butter herb sauce. Perfect for quick weeknight dinners or hearty gatherings.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, divided

1 pound baby potatoes, halved

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 1/2 pounds boneless sirloin steaks, cut into 1-inch cubes

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon coarsely chopped fresh thyme leaves

2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh parsley leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325ºF.
  2. In a large oven-safe or cast iron skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
  3. Add halved baby potatoes, onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat and place cut-side down.
  4. Cook undisturbed for 1–2 minutes until browning starts, then stir occasionally for 4 more minutes until well-browned and starting to soften.
  5. Transfer potatoes to a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer and place in the oven.
  6. Wipe out the skillet. Melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat.
  7. Add steak cubes in a single layer, season with remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt, and cook for 4–5 minutes, flipping occasionally, until browned and just cooked through.
  8. Reduce heat to low and stir in remaining 1 tablespoon butter, garlic, and thyme.
  9. Turn off heat, return potatoes to skillet, and toss everything to combine.
  10. Garnish with parsley if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use ribeye or strip steak for a more tender result.
  • Sprinkle parmesan on potatoes before returning them to the skillet for extra flavor.
  • Substitute sweet potatoes for a sweeter flavor contrast.
  • Add mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers for more veggies.
  • Make dairy-free by using a plant-based butter alternative.
