- 1½ lbs sirloin steak, sliced into small bite-size pieces
- 1½ lbs baby potatoes, cut in halves or quarters
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, separated for cooking
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, separated for the skillet
- 5–6 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- Salt, added to taste
- Black pepper, added to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped for finishing
- Warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the cut baby potatoes, then season them with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
- Cook the potatoes for about 15 minutes, turning them now and then, until the outsides are golden and the centers are tender. Move them to a plate.
- Season the steak pieces with salt, black pepper, and dried Italian herbs.
- Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the same skillet and add 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Once the pan is hot, add the steak in a single layer and sear for 2–3 minutes on each side, cooking in batches if needed.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, then add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic.
- Stir the garlic for about 1 minute, just until it smells fragrant and buttery.
- Add the potatoes back to the skillet and toss everything together for 1–2 minutes so the steak and potatoes are coated in garlic butter.
- Scatter fresh parsley over the top and serve while hot.
Notes
- Leave space between the steak pieces while searing so they brown instead of steaming.
- Blot the steak dry before seasoning to help build a better crust.
- Fresh thyme or rosemary can replace the dried Italian herbs for a more earthy flavor.
- Warm leftovers gently in a skillet with a little butter to help keep the steak tender and the potatoes flavorful.
