Description

This Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes Skillet is a hearty and flavorful one-pan meal featuring tender seared steak bites and crispy golden baby potatoes, all cooked together in a savory garlic butter sauce and fresh parsley. Perfect for a quick yet satisfying dinner that comes together in just 35 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale

Steak and Potatoes

  • 1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved

Seasonings and Sauce

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Prepare Potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut each potato in half to ensure even cooking and a crispy texture.
  2. Cook Potatoes: Heat 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the halved potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 10-12 minutes until they develop a golden brown crust on one side.
  3. Sear the Steak: Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet to make space. Add the bite-sized steak pieces to the other side. Sear the steak for about 5-7 minutes until they are browned on all sides, seasoning with salt and pepper as they cook.
  4. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic into the skillet, mixing with the steak and potatoes. Cook for an additional minute until the garlic releases its fragrant aroma.
  5. Finish with Butter and Parsley: Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the skillet. Mix everything together well and serve the dish warm.

Notes

  • Choose ribeye steak for a richer flavor or sirloin for a leaner option.
  • To speed up cooking, parboil the potatoes for 5 minutes before halving and searing.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best taste; avoid pre-minced garlic for more vibrant flavor.
  • If you prefer extra crispy potatoes, finish them off under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
