Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the potatoes
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb Yukon gold potatoes (cut into 1/2-inch cubes)
  • 6 cloves garlic (minced, divided)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme (chopped, divided)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary (chopped, divided)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt and pepper to taste
For the steak
  • 1.5 lbs sirloin steaks (cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter (divided) or ghee

Method
 

Cooking Potatoes
  1. Heat olive oil and 1 Tablespoon of butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the potatoes and cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes to form a crust.
  3. Continue cooking for 5-6 minutes, until golden brown and fork-tender.
  4. Stir in 3 cloves of garlic, 1 teaspoon each of rosemary and thyme, along with salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes soft and fragrant.
  5. Remove the potatoes and set aside.
Cooking Steak
  1. Increase the skillet temperature to high heat and melt the remaining 3 Tablespoons of butter.
  2. Add the steak bites and sear for 1-2 minutes without stirring.
  3. Once a crust forms, add the remaining garlic and cook until golden brown and at 135°F, about 1-2 more minutes.
  4. Stir in the remaining herbs, tilting the skillet to gather butter and herbs, then drizzle over the steak bites.
  5. Return the potatoes to the skillet, mix well, and serve immediately.

Notes

For perfect doneness, use a meat thermometer to check the steak. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, use the oven or skillet.
