Let’s Make it Together
Prepare Your Ingredients: Begin by washing and chopping the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Set them aside while you cube the sirloin steak into one-inch pieces for even cooking.
Season Your Steak Bites: Generously season your steak cubes with salt and pepper. This simple step enhances their natural beefy flavor remarkably before cooking.
Cook the Potatoes First: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and let it shimmer before adding potatoes. Cook until crispy and golden brown on all sides—about 15-20 minutes total.
Sear the Steak Bites: Once your potatoes are crispy, remove them from the skillet and set aside. In that same hot skillet, melt butter before adding minced garlic and then quickly tossing in your seasoned steak bites.
Add Flavorful Sauce : Sear your steak bites for about 3-4 minutes until they develop a nice crust but remain juicy inside. Pour more butter over them for added richness right before removing from heat.
Toss Everything Together : Return those crispy potatoes to the skillet along with fresh parsley. Gently toss everything together until well combined and coated in buttery goodness.
