How to Make It

Sauté

1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. This will create the perfect base for your potatoes as they cook.

Cook

2. Add the halved baby potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook until crispy and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Sear

3. In the same skillet, add the steak bites and season with salt and pepper. Sear until browned, about 3-4 minutes, depending on your desired doneness.

Melt

4. Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic butter to the skillet, stirring until melted and coats the steak. This adds richness and flavor to the meat.

Combine

5. Return the crispy potatoes to the skillet and toss everything together. Ensure all pieces are well-coated in the garlic butter for maximum flavor.

Garnish

6. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. This adds a fresh touch to your dish and enhances its presentation.

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: No, the texture won’t hold up.
Reheat: Microwave on low for about 2 minutes or until warmed through.
