This skillet-cooked recipe combines garlic, fresh herbs, and a simple seasoning to create a rich and hearty meal that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into ½-inch pieces
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Steak and Seasoning

  • 1¼ lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh oregano

Instructions

  1. Cook the Potatoes: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Yukon Gold potatoes, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook undisturbed for 5 minutes to develop a golden crust, then continue cooking for another 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork-tender. Once done, transfer the potatoes to a plate to keep warm.
  2. Sear the Steak: Increase the skillet’s heat to high. Season the sirloin steak pieces with salt and black pepper. Add them to the skillet in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Sear the steak, turning to brown on several sides, until the largest pieces reach an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness.
  3. Add Butter, Garlic, and Herbs: Reduce the heat to low. Add the unsalted butter, minced garlic, fresh thyme, rosemary, and oregano to the skillet along with the cooked potatoes. Toss everything briefly to coat the steak and potatoes in the garlic-herb butter mixture, then remove the skillet from the heat.
  4. Rest and Serve: Allow the steak bites to rest in the skillet for at least 3 minutes to redistribute juices and enhance flavor. Serve warm, enjoying the tender steak and flavorful buttery potatoes.

Notes

  • Sear the steak in batches if your skillet is crowded to ensure proper browning and even cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check steak doneness for best results.
  • Fresh herbs can be substituted or omitted based on availability.
  • Allowing the steak to rest improves juiciness and tenderness.
  • For a crispier potato texture, ensure they are cooked undisturbed initially to form a golden crust.
