Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) flank steak or sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
Seasonings and Herbs:
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Cooking Liquid:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the skillet by heating olive oil over medium-high temperature, creating an ideal searing environment for the meat.
- Introduce steak pieces into the hot skillet, seasoning generously with aromatic herbs and spices. Develop a rich, caramelized exterior by cooking 4-5 minutes per side until achieving desired doneness.
- Transfer cooked steak to a separate plate, preserving its juicy interior and allowing the skillet to retain flavorful remnants.
- Utilize the same skillet, adding additional olive oil to create a crisp potato foundation. Distribute potato pieces evenly, coating with robust seasonings like garlic powder and dried herbs.
- Roast potatoes systematically, rotating occasionally to ensure uniform golden-brown coloration and tender interior, approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Consolidate dish components by returning steak to the skillet alongside crispy potatoes.
- Craft garlic butter sauce by gently melting butter and incorporating minced garlic, carefully avoiding burning while releasing aromatic flavors.
- Enhance the dish’s richness by drizzling warm garlic butter across steak and potatoes.
- Complete presentation with optional fresh parsley garnish, serving immediately while ingredients maintain optimal temperature and texture.
Notes
- Ensure your skillet is preheated for a perfect sear, creating a delicious golden-brown crust on the steak that locks in juicy flavors.
- Use a meat thermometer to check steak doneness: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, preventing overcooking and maintaining tenderness.
- Cut potatoes into uniform sizes to guarantee even cooking and consistent crispy texture throughout the dish.
- Opt for cast-iron skillet if possible, as it provides superior heat distribution and helps develop a rich, caramelized exterior on both steak and potatoes.
