A delicious and hearty one-pan meal featuring tender garlic-infused steak bites and crispy golden potatoes, perfect for a quick and satisfying dinner.
1 pound sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 pound baby potatoes, halved
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the halved baby potatoes to the skillet, season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and tender.
While the potatoes cook, season the cubed sirloin steak with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, dried thyme, and smoked paprika.
Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter to the empty side of the skillet.
Add the seasoned steak bites to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes without stirring to get a good sear.
Stir the steak bites and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they reach your desired doneness.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Combine the steak bites and potatoes in the skillet, mixing well to distribute the garlic and seasonings evenly.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
