Ingredients

- 1½ lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- 4 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 5–6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Fresh ingredients ready to be transformed into a delicious meal.
Directions
-
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the baby potatoes, season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and fork-tender. Remove the potatoes from the pan and set aside.
-
Season the steak cubes with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil along with 2 tablespoons of butter. Sear the steak in a single layer, cooking in batches if needed, for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Avoid overcooking to keep them tender.
-
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
-
Return the cooked potatoes to the pan and toss everything together to combine thoroughly.
-
Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes to heat everything through. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot for a delicious, hearty meal.
Tips & Variations
-
Ingredient substitutions: If sirloin steak isn’t available, feel free to use ribeye or even chicken for a different protein option. For a low-carb version, substitute potatoes with cauliflower florets.
-
Optional variations: Add some freshly chopped vegetables such as bell peppers or onions during the last few minutes of cooking for added color and nutrition.
-
Storage or reheating tips: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, adding a splash of broth or water if needed to keep it moist.
