Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1.25 pounds sirloin steak (cut into 1/2-inch cubes)
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes (cut into 1/2-inch cubes)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Fats and Oils:
- 0.25 cup ghee or butter (divided)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt (plus more to taste)
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper (plus more to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, drizzling olive oil and melting butter to create a flavorful cooking base.
- Scatter potato chunks into the skillet, generously coating with minced garlic, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper for robust seasoning.
- Allow potatoes to sizzle undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, developing a golden crust, then gently stir every 1-2 minutes to ensure even browning.
- Continue cooking potatoes for approximately 8-10 minutes until they achieve a crispy exterior and tender interior, adjusting cooking time based on potato size and skillet crowding.
- Transfer perfectly cooked potatoes and caramelized remnants to a separate plate, preserving their delectable flavor.
- Elevate skillet temperature to medium-high, adding remaining butter to create an ideal searing environment.
- Introduce steak pieces into the hot skillet, seasoning with a light sprinkle of salt and pepper to enhance natural meat flavors.
- Allow steak to develop a rich, golden-brown crust by cooking undisturbed for 2 minutes, then gently stir and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Reunite potatoes with seared steak in the skillet, mixing thoroughly and fine-tuning seasoning to taste.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the dish and serve piping hot for maximum enjoyment.
Notes
- Choose a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet for maximum flavor development and even heat distribution.
- Cut potatoes and steak into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure consistent cooking and attractive presentation.
- Allow meats and potatoes to rest at room temperature before cooking to guarantee more even heat penetration and better caramelization.
- Use high-quality grass-fed butter and fresh herbs for enhanced taste and richer nutritional profile.
