How to Make It

Start by sautéing the potatoes for a cozy, flavorful meal.

1. Melt butter

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.

2. Cook potatoes

Add the baby potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and tender, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. Sear steak

In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and let it melt. Add the steak bites, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked to your liking.

4. Add garlic

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.

5. Combine ingredients

Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet, tossing everything together to coat in the garlic butter sauce.

6. Garnish

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: No; potatoes lose texture when frozen.
Reheat: Microwave on medium for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through.

Tips for Best Results

• Ensure the skillet is hot enough before adding the potatoes for optimal crispiness.
• Don’t overcrowd the skillet when cooking the steak; it will steam instead of sear.
• Use a meat thermometer for precision; aim for 130°F for medium-rare.
• Make it a complete meal by adding your favorite veggies at the end.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with a light salad for a balanced meal.
• Serve alongside garlic bread for a delightful appetizer.
• Enjoy with a glass of red wine for an elevated dining experience.
