Equipment

  • 1 Cast-Iron Skillet (Or any heavy-bottomed large pan)
  • 1 Sharp knife (For cutting steak and potatoes)
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Tongs (For flipping steak and potatoes)
  • 1 Paper Towels (For drying potatoes before cooking)

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb Sirloin steak - Cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1.5 lb Baby potatoes - Halved, can sub Yukon Gold or red potatoes
  • 4 cloves Garlic - Minced
  • 3 tablespoon Butter - Or dairy-free alternative
  • 2 tablespoon Olive oil - For searing
  • Salt - To taste
  • Black pepper - To taste
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika - Optional flavor booster
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder - Optional, for added flavor
  • ½ teaspoon Red pepper flakes - Optional, for heat
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley - Chopped, for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme/rosemary - Optional, or use ½ teaspoon dried herbs
  • 1 teaspoon Cornstarch - Optional, for extra crispy potatoes
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground coffee - Optional, adds smokiness to steak

Instructions

  • Cut the baby potatoes in half, sprinkle with salt, and let them sit for 10 minutes. Pat them dry with paper towels, then toss with a little cornstarch to help them crisp up.
  • Cut the sirloin steak into even bite-sized pieces. Let it come to room temperature. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and optionally a pinch of ground coffee for extra flavor.
  • Heat the skillet with olive oil. Place the potatoes cut-side down and cook undisturbed for 5 minutes until crispy and golden. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
