Let’s Make it Together

Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients and cutting the steak into bite-sized pieces. Ensure everything is within reach for smooth cooking.

Sear the Steak Bites: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add steak bites seasoned with salt and pepper. Sear for about 3-4 minutes until browned.

Add Garlic and Butter: Toss in minced garlic along with unsalted butter. Cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes while continuously basting the steak bites in melted butter.

Cook the Potatoes: While cooking steak, parboil halved potatoes in salted water until slightly tender (about 10 minutes). Drain and let them dry before frying.

Crispy Potato Perfection: In another skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add dried potatoes and fry until crispy and golden brown on all sides (approximately 8-10 minutes).

Combine Everything Together: Once both components are cooked to perfection, mix together garlic butter steak bites with crispy potatoes in one skillet. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Now you have an irresistible meal ready to impress anyone lucky enough to share it with you.

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by searing the steak bites to lock in flavor, then cook the potatoes until golden and crisp. This method ensures that everything is cooked to perfection while maximizing flavor.
