Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Cooking Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided (1/2 stick)
- Freshly chopped parsley, optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat a cast iron skillet to medium-high temperature, creating an ideal searing environment for both potatoes and steak.
- Introduce olive oil and initial butter portion into the hot skillet, allowing complete butter liquefaction.
- Incorporate diced potatoes with aromatic herbs, seasonings, and spices. Permit potatoes to develop a golden-brown crust by remaining undisturbed for approximately 4 minutes.
- Gently rotate potatoes and continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until achieving a tender, crisp exterior. Transfer potatoes to a separate container.
- Elevate skillet temperature to high, introducing remaining butter and ensuring rapid melting.
- Carefully arrange steak bites in a single layer, creating maximum surface contact for optimal caramelization. Sear for precisely 1 minute.
- Rotate or agitate steak pieces, continuing cooking for 1-2 minutes to reach preferred doneness level.
- Remove skillet from heat source and reunite cooked potatoes with seared steak bites, gently tossing to distribute flavors.
- Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper according to taste preference.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant, herbaceous finish. Serve immediately while ingredients maintain optimal temperature and texture.
Notes
- Choose a heavy-bottomed cast iron skillet for even heat distribution and perfect browning of steak and potatoes.
- Ensure potatoes are cut into uniform bite-sized pieces to guarantee consistent cooking and crispy exterior.
- Pat steak dry before cooking to achieve a beautiful golden-brown crust and prevent steaming instead of searing.
- Let steak rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking and maximum tenderness.
- For low-carb version, substitute potatoes with cauliflower or turnips to maintain similar texture and flavor profile.
- Use high-quality grass-fed beef for enhanced nutritional value and richer taste.
- Experiment with different herb combinations like thyme or sage to personalize the dish’s flavor profile.
- For a gluten-free meal, confirm all ingredients meet dietary restrictions and use certified gluten-free seasonings.
