Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• Sirloin Steak: Look for well-marbled cuts for maximum flavor and tenderness; about 1-1.5 pounds should suffice.
• Fresh Garlic: Use whole cloves rather than pre-minced; fresh garlic brings out the best flavor.
• Unsalted Butter: Opt for unsalted butter so you can control the saltiness of your dish.
• Olive Oil: A splash of olive oil helps achieve that beautiful sear on the steak bites.
• Potatoes: Baby potatoes work great; they’re bite-sized and crisp up beautifully when roasted.
• Fresh Herbs (like parsley): Fresh herbs brighten up the flavors; chop some up for garnish
• Salt and Pepper: Don’t forget these essentials Seasoning is key to elevating your dish.

Let’s Make it Together

Gather your ingredients and get ready for some serious cooking magic

Prep Your Ingredients: Start by washing and halving your baby potatoes. While you’re at it, mince 3-4 cloves of fresh garlic until fragrant. Set them aside in separate bowls.

Cook the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss those halved potatoes in olive oil, season with salt and pepper, then spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast until golden brown and crispy—about 25-30 minutes.

Sear the Steak Bites: While the potatoes roast away, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with some olive oil. Cut sirloin steak into bite-sized pieces. Once hot, add the steak bites in batches so they don’t overcrowd—sear until browned on all sides.

Add Garlic Butter: When your steak bites are nearly done (about 3-4 minutes), push them to one side of the pan and add butter along with minced garlic. Stir together until everything gets coated in that glorious buttery goodness.

Toss It All Together: Once both components are ready, combine the crispy potatoes with the garlic butter steak bites in a serving bowl. Give them a gentle toss to mix flavors before garnishing with freshly chopped parsley.

Now you have Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Crispy Potatoes that will make you feel like a kitchen rockstar

Serve them warm alongside a fresh salad or some crusty bread to soak up all that buttery goodness—they’re sure to impress everyone at your table

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Sear the steak bites in a hot pan for that beautiful crust, then transfer them to the oven while preparing the crispy potatoes. This sequence maximizes flavor and texture.

Add Your Touch

Feel free to swap out the potatoes for sweet potatoes or even cauliflower for a lower-carb option. Experiment with different herbs like rosemary or thyme to elevate the flavors.

Storing & Reheating

Store leftover steak bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat to avoid toughening the meat.

Cooking these garlic butter steak bites always reminds me of my cousin’s wedding last summer. I whipped up this dish, and everyone was raving about it Nothing feels better than hearing your food made someone’s day.
