Directions

Prepare the Potatoes:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the diced potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the potatoes for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.

Season the steak cubes with salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme.
Add the steak bites to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:

In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Combine the Dish:

Return the steak bites to the skillet with the garlic butter and toss to coat evenly.

FAQs

How do I make sure the steak stays tender?

To ensure tender steak, avoid overcooking it, and allow it to rest after searing to maintain juiciness.

Can I use a different cut of beef for the steak bites?

Yes! Cuts like ribeye or flank steak work well, but adjust the cooking times based on thickness.

Can I make this dish ahead of time?

It's best fresh, but you can prepare the potatoes ahead of time and store them in the fridge. Reheat in the oven before serving.

Can I use frozen potatoes for this recipe?

Fresh potatoes give the best texture, but frozen potatoes can work too. Just adjust the roasting time.

Is there a way to make this dish spicier?

Yes! Add red pepper flakes to the garlic butter or season the potatoes with cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.

Can I make the steak bites without butter?

If you prefer a lighter version, you can omit the butter and use more olive oil for the steak bites.

Can I use baby potatoes instead of regular potatoes?

Yes, baby potatoes work great! Just cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.

How do I prevent the potatoes from becoming soggy?

Make sure to toss the potatoes in oil and seasonings before roasting and avoid overcrowding them on the baking sheet.

Can I serve this with a salad?

Yes, a fresh green salad with a tangy dressing pairs wonderfully with this hearty meal.
