Garlic Butter Steak Bites & Potatoes

 

Juicy, tender steak bites tossed in rich garlic butter with crispy golden potatoes — a one-pan dinner that tastes like a restaurant favorite!

 Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef (ribeye, NY strip, or sirloin), cut into bite-size cubes
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon paprika (optional but delicious)
• 1½ pounds baby potatoes, halved or quartered
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 4–5 cloves garlic, minced
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

 Instructions

1. Season the steak:
   In a bowl, toss the beef cubes with soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika. Set aside while you prepare the potatoes.
2. Cook the potatoes:
   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   Add potatoes, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fork-tender.
   Remove potatoes from the pan and set aside.
3. Sear the steak bites:
   In the same skillet, increase heat to high.
   Add steak bites in a single layer (cook in batches if needed).
   Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until nicely browned and juicy. Do not overcook.
4. Make the garlic butter:
   Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic to the skillet.
   Stir for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
5. Combine:
   Return potatoes to the pan and toss everything together until well coated in garlic butter.
6. Finish & serve:
   Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
