Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound (450g) sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
Vegetables and Potatoes:
- 1 pound (450g) baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Seasonings and Cooking Fats:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the kitchen workspace by gathering all necessary tools and preheating the oven to 400°F, ensuring even cooking temperature.
- Toss baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and dried thyme in a mixing bowl, creating a well-seasoned base for roasting.
- Melt butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, creating a golden cooking surface for the potatoes.
- Arrange potatoes cut-side down in the skillet, allowing them to develop a crispy exterior without disturbing for 4-5 minutes.
- Season steak pieces with salt and black pepper, preparing them for quick, high-heat cooking.
- Push potatoes to the skillet’s edges and introduce steak pieces to the center, searing each side for 2-3 minutes to achieve desired browning.
- Lower heat and introduce minced garlic and remaining butter, creating a fragrant and rich cooking environment.
- Gently toss potatoes and steak in the aromatic garlic butter, ensuring complete flavor coverage.
- Transfer the entire skillet to the preheated oven, allowing 5-7 minutes for final cooking and melding of flavors.
- Remove from oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately for optimal taste and temperature.
Notes
- Swap steak cuts based on budget and preference, like sirloin or ribeye for tenderness and flavor variation.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for optimal heat distribution and perfect golden-brown searing of potatoes and steak.
- Pat steak pieces dry before seasoning to ensure maximum caramelization and prevent steaming instead of browning.
- Adjust cooking time for steak doneness, using meat thermometer for precise temperature (medium-rare: 135°F, medium: 145°F).
