Method
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy-duty skillet over medium heat. Allow the oil to shimmer, indicating it’s hot enough for cooking.
- Add the halved baby potatoes to the skillet, seasoning them generously with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become golden brown and fork-tender.
- While the pan is still warm, season your sirloin steak cubes with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Sear the steak for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side until nicely browned.
- Once the steak is seared, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté the garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Return the cooked baby potatoes to the skillet, tossing them gently with the garlic-buttered steak bites. Cook together for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring heated through.
- Finally, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and serve hot, straight from the skillet.
