Description
Tender seared steak and crispy potatoes tossed in a rich garlic butter sauce—this one-skillet dinner is fast, flavorful, and satisfying.
Ingredients
1 lb (450 g) beef sirloin or tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 lb (450 g) baby potatoes, halved or quartered
3 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or ½ tsp dried thyme)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
Instructions
Pat beef dry and season with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear beef for 2–3 minutes per side until browned; set aside.
Lower heat to medium. Add 1 tbsp butter and remaining oil; sauté potatoes with salt, pepper, and thyme for 8–10 minutes.
Push potatoes to the side, melt remaining 2 tbsp butter, and sauté garlic (and red pepper flakes if using) for 30 seconds.
Return beef to the skillet and toss with potatoes in garlic butter sauce.
Cook 1–2 minutes more; sprinkle with chopped parsley and adjust seasoning.
Serve hot.
Notes
Use a splash of lemon juice at the end for brightness.
Switch up herbs for new flavor profiles.
