Ingredients

Scale

Fats and Oils

  • ¼ cup ghee or butter, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Vegetables & Herbs

  • 1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into ½ inch cubes
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Spices & Seasoning

  • ½ teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more to taste

Meat

  • 1 ¼ lb sirloin steak, cut into ½ inch cubes

Instructions

  1. Prep: Begin by cutting the Yukon Gold potatoes and sirloin steak into ½ inch cubes. Mince the garlic cloves and have all your ingredients measured and ready.
  2. Heat skillet and add fats: Place a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of ghee to the pan, allowing the ghee to melt completely to create a rich cooking base.
  3. Cook the potatoes with seasonings: Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet. Sprinkle minced garlic, dried thyme, oregano, ½ teaspoon sea salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper evenly over the potatoes. Let them cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes before stirring to encourage crispness.
  4. Sauté potatoes until golden and tender: Continue to cook, stirring every 1-2 minutes to prevent sticking, until the potatoes develop a golden brown crust and are fork tender, about 8-10 minutes total. Keep an eye on the potatoes and avoid overcrowding for even cooking.
  5. Remove potatoes and prepare for steak: Once cooked, carefully transfer the potatoes and browned bits from the skillet onto a plate and set aside. This helps preserve the fond for extra flavor.
  6. Sear the steak bites: Increase the skillet heat to medium-high. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of ghee to the hot pan and let it melt. Add the steak cubes, seasoning them with a dash of salt and pepper. Allow the steak to sear for at least 2 minutes before stirring to achieve a good crust.
  7. Continue cooking steak: Stir the steak pieces occasionally as they cook until they turn golden brown on all sides, an additional 1-2 minutes to reach your preferred doneness.
  8. Combine steak and potatoes: Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet and stir everything together to blend the flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper, if desired.
  9. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the mixture for a fresh herbal note. Serve the garlic butter steak bites and potatoes hot and enjoy your savory one-pan meal.

Notes

  • Using a cast iron skillet is recommended for best searing and even heat distribution.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking potatoes or steak to ensure proper browning and cooking.
  • Ghee can be substituted with unsalted butter for a slightly different flavor.
  • Adjust seasoning according to your taste preferences.
  • Let steak rest a few minutes after cooking if you prefer juicier bites.
  • This dish pairs well with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
