Cook’s Tip

Before you place the potatoes or steak bites on the skillet, make sure it is hot so they sear properly.
Make sure to remove any burnt pieces of garlic then remain in the skillet after cooking the potatoes. They might make the steak taste bitter.
Do not overcook the steak bites! Remember that they will keep cooking even after you turn the heat off. Overcooked steak might turn out tough.

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil (or peanut or avocado oil), divided
2 tbsp butter, divided (use margarine if allergic to lactose)
1 lb baby potatoes cut into fourths
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp each: fresh thyme, rosemary, and parsley, finely chopped
½ tsp red pepper flakes
1 ¼ lb sirloin steak cut into 1-inch cubes
½ tsp salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Melt one tbsp of butter and ½ tbsp of olive oil in a cast iron skillet (or heavy bottomed skillet) over medium heat.
Add the potatoes, garlic, herbs, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper and cook until tender and easily pierced with a fork, stirring frequently, for about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
Using a slotted spoon, discard any pieces of burnt garlic stuck to the bottom of the skillet. Turn the heat to high, and melt the remaining butter and olive oil.
Season the sirloin bites with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet. Do not move them for two minutes so they sear properly.
Turn them until seared on all sides and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Return the potatoes to the skillet.
Cook for an additional minute to heat them through. Serve with a side salad and crusty bread.
