Hello lovely friends! Today, we’re whipping up a simple yet incredibly satisfying meal that’s perfect for a cozy night in. This Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes Skillet is packed with flavor and oh-so-easy to make. Let’s get cooking!
Yields: 2 servings
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 25-30 minutes
What You’ll Need:
1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch cubes) – sirloin is wonderfully tender!
- 1 pound small red potatoes, quartered (no need to peel if you like the skins!)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced (or more if you’re a garlic lover like me!)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional, but it adds a lovely touch!)
Let’s Make Magic! Prep the Potatoes: In a medium bowl, toss the quartered potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, half of the rosemary, salt, and pepper. Make sure they’re nicely coated.
- Cook the Potatoes: Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned potatoes in a single layer. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping them occasionally, until they’re golden brown and tender. If your skillet isn’t oven-safe, you can transfer them to a baking dish after browning.
- Sear the Steak: While the potatoes are cooking, pat your steak pieces dry with a paper towel. Season them generously with salt and pepper.
- Butter and Garlic Bliss: Once the potatoes are almost done, push them to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter to the empty side. Once melted and bubbly, add the minced garlic and the rest of the rosemary. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant – be careful not to burn the garlic!
- Bring it All Together: Add the seasoned steak pieces to the skillet with the garlic butter. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the steak is browned and cooked to your liking. The garlic butter will start to coat everything beautifully!
- Serve and Enjoy! Give everything a good stir to combine the steak, potatoes, and delicious garlic butter sauce. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if you’re using it.
This skillet meal is so hearty and flavorful, it feels like a special occasion without any fuss. It’s perfect for a solo dinner or sharing with a loved one. Enjoy every delicious bite! .
