Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs sirloin, ribeye, or New York strip steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold or red potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 6-8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, thyme, or rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Equipment

  • Oven
  • baking sheet
  • Large bowl
  • paper towels
  • Large skillet (preferably cast iron)
  • Garlic press (optional)
  • Meat thermometer (optional)
  • Spatula or tongs

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and golden brown, flipping halfway through.
  5. While the potatoes are roasting, pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels.
  6. Season the steak cubes generously with salt and pepper.
  7. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat.
  8. Add the steak cubes to the skillet in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. If necessary, work in batches.
  9. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F (54-57°C).
  10. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
  11. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  12. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic!
  13. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce.
  14. Add the roasted potatoes and seared steak bites to the skillet with the garlic butter sauce.
  15. Toss everything together to coat evenly.
  16. Stir in the fresh herbs.
  17. Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
  18. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crispy potatoes, soak them in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting to remove excess starch. Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the steak; work in batches for best results. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steak is cooked to your desired doneness. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
