Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound sliced Yukon gold potatoes, cut into ½-inch pieces
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt to taste
Ground black pepper to taste
1 ¼ pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano

Instructions

Cook the Potatoes: Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil, sliced potatoes, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes before stirring. Continue cooking for another 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and fork-tender. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Sear the Steak: Increase the heat to high. Add the steak pieces to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Let them sear for about a minute before stirring. Continue cooking for 4–5 minutes until the steak bites are golden brown on all sides.
Combine and Add Flavor: Add butter, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, oregano, and the cooked potatoes back into the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
Serve: Plate immediately and enjoy the savory combination of tender steak and flavorful potatoes coated in a luscious garlic herb butter sauce.

Notes

Serving Tips:

Serve immediately while hot to enjoy the buttery garlic sauce at its best.
Pair with a side salad, steamed vegetables, or garlic bread for a complete meal.
Drizzle any leftover garlic butter from the pan over the steak and potatoes for extra flavor.
Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and freshness.
For a fancier presentation, serve in a cast iron skillet or on a wooden board with dipping sauces like garlic aioli or chimichurri.

Storage Tips:

Refrigeration: Allow leftovers to cool completely, then store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheating: Reheat on the stovetop over medium heat or in the microwave for 1–2 minutes until warmed through.
Freezing: You can freeze the cooked steak and potatoes in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
Avoid overcooking: When reheating, don’t overheat the steak to prevent it from becoming tough.
