If you’ve ever wondered how restaurants get that perfect steakhouse flavor, this is the trick: a hot skillet, real butter, smashed garlic, and the right timing. The potatoes soak up the buttery goodness while staying crisp on the edges — basically the perfect combination of textures and flavors.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- Steak (sirloin, ribeye, or NY strip works great)
- Baby potatoes or diced Yukon potatoes
- Butter
- Olive oil
- Fresh garlic
- Italian seasoning or herbs (thyme, parsley, rosemary)
- Salt, pepper, paprika
- Optional: chili flakes for heat
How to Make It (Easy Steps):
1️⃣ Start by pan-searing your potatoes in olive oil until golden and tender. Set aside.
2️⃣ In the same skillet, cook your steak bites over high heat so they get that beautiful sear.
3️⃣ Add butter, minced garlic, and herbs — let it melt and coat everything in pure goodness.
4️⃣ Toss the potatoes back in, stir everything together, and let the flavors soak in.
5️⃣ Serve warm with more herbs and a squeeze of lemon if you want brightness.
Tips for the Best Steak Bites:
- Let the steak rest before cutting — it keeps it juicy.
- Pat dry to help browning.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan.
- Use real butter, not margarine.
- High heat = more flavor.
