Description

A delicious and easy recipe featuring perfectly seared sirloin steak bites paired with golden, tender Yukon gold potatoes, all cooked together in a cast iron skillet with aromatic herbs and garlic for a flavorful one-pan meal.

Ingredients

Fats and Oils

  • ¼ cup ghee or butter, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Vegetables and Herbs

  • 1 lb Yukon gold potatoes, cut into ½ inch cubes
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for topping)

Seasonings

  • ½ teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more to taste

Protein

  • 1 ¼ lb sirloin steak, cut into ½ inch cubes

Instructions

  1. Prep: Begin by cutting the Yukon gold potatoes into ½ inch cubes, mincing the garlic cloves, and cubing the sirloin steak into ½ inch pieces.
  2. Heat the skillet: Place a large cast iron skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil along with two tablespoons of ghee or butter. Let the fats melt and warm through.
  3. Cook the potatoes: Once the ghee is melted, add the cubed potatoes to the skillet. Sprinkle minced garlic, dried thyme, dried oregano, ½ teaspoon sea salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper evenly over the potatoes. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes before stirring to let them start browning.
  4. Brown and tenderize the potatoes: Stir the potatoes frequently every 1-2 minutes to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. Continue cooking until the potatoes are golden brown on the outside and fork tender, which should take about 8-10 minutes depending on the pan crowding and potato size. Remove the potatoes and any browned bits from the pan and set aside.
  5. Sear the steak: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the remaining two tablespoons of ghee to the skillet. Once melted and hot, add the sirloin steak cubes and season them with a dash of salt and pepper. Let the steak sear without stirring for at least 2 minutes to develop a good golden crust, then stir and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until evenly browned.
  6. Combine and finish: Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the steak. Stir well to combine and warm through. Adjust seasoning by adding more salt and pepper to taste. Finish by sprinkling with freshly chopped parsley.
  7. Serve: Serve the steak bites and potatoes hot directly from the skillet and enjoy this hearty, flavorful dish.

Notes

  • For best results, use a large cast iron skillet to allow enough space for even browning of potatoes and steak.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking potatoes or steak to ensure proper searing and caramelization.
  • You can substitute ghee with butter or a neutral cooking oil if preferred.
  • Adjust herbs and seasoning to your taste; fresh herbs can be used instead of dried but add them towards the end to preserve flavor.
  • If you prefer a different cut of steak, ensure it is suitable for quick pan-searing.
