Let’s Make Some!
Alright, fellow food lovers, let’s dive into making these incredible Garlic Steak Bites and Potatoes. Follow these steps, and get ready for some serious flavor.
- Prep the Steak: Pat the steak bites dry with paper towels and season generously with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Drying the steak is critical for getting that perfect sear.
- Sear the Steak: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the steak bites in a single layer (don’t overcrowd the pan!) and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until nicely browned. Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set aside. This is where the magic starts happening!
- Cook the Potatoes: Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet. Add the potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown. In my kitchen, these Garlic Steak Bites and Potatoes usually take around 30 minutes from start to finish.
- Make the Garlic Butter: Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt. Add the minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. This is my favorite part of making Garlic Steak Bites and Potatoes – watch the magic happen!
- Combine Everything: Return the steak bites to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat the steak and potatoes in the garlic butter. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the steak is heated through. Don’t worry if your Garlic Steak Bites and Potatoes look rustic. It’s all about the flavor!
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy! While your Garlic Steak Bites and Potatoes are doing their thing, get ready for some amazing aromas!
