Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 lbs sirloin steak or ribeye, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for beef)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 lb baby gold potatoes, quartered
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for potatoes)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 5 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry baby potatoes. Cut into 1-inch chunks or quarters. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and Italian herbs if using.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add potatoes in a single layer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and just fork-tender (7–10 minutes). If sticking, add a splash of water and cover briefly.
  3. While potatoes cook, pat steak cubes dry with paper towels. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Once potatoes are golden and mostly cooked, transfer to a bowl and keep warm. Do not wipe out the skillet.
  5. Increase heat to high. Add half the beef cubes in a single layer. Sear undisturbed for 1–2 minutes until a deep brown crust forms. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes. Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining beef.
  6. Lower heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in minced garlic. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly.
  7. Return potatoes and beef to the pan. Toss everything together to coat in garlic butter. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
  8. Serve hot, family-style or plated.

Notes

For best results, sear beef in batches to avoid overcrowding. Pat beef dry before cooking for maximum caramelization. If using sweet potatoes or other vegetables, adjust cooking times accordingly. For a dairy-free version, use plant-based butter. Leftovers keep well and can be reheated in a skillet or microwave.
