Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes Skillet

Juicy, seared steak bites and golden potatoes tossed in rich garlic butter—an easy one-pan dinner full of comfort and flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs sirloin steak (or ribeye), cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 ½ lbs baby potatoes, halved
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme (or 1 tbsp fresh)
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary (or 1 tbsp fresh)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Potatoes:
    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and fork-tender. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  2. Sear the Steak:
    In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp olive oil. Add steak cubes in a single layer, season with salt and pepper, and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove from skillet.
  3. Make Garlic Butter Sauce:
    Reduce heat to medium. Add butter, garlic, thyme, and rosemary to the skillet. Stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Combine:
    Return the potatoes and steak to the skillet. Toss everything in the garlic butter until well coated.
  5. Serve:
    Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Tip: For extra richness, finish with a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese before serving.
