Description
A simple and flavorful recipe for tender garlic steak bites and crispy roasted potatoes, perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved or quartered if large
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 6 cloves garlic, minced, divided
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for finishing)
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2. In a large bowl, toss the prepared baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, half of the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Ensure the potatoes are evenly coated. Spread them in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
- 3. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and starting to crisp up.
- 4. While the potatoes are roasting, pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. In the same bowl used for the potatoes, toss the steak cubes with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the remaining minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- 5. Once the potatoes have roasted for about 20-25 minutes, remove them from the oven. Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and carefully move the potatoes to one side of the baking sheet or transfer them to a bowl. Place the steak cubes in a single layer on the now empty half of the baking sheet (or in a separate cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan). Sear over medium-high heat on the stovetop or place the baking sheet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and seared.
- 6. Once the steak is seared, return the baking sheet (or skillet) to the oven. Continue to cook for another 5-8 minutes for medium-rare, or longer to your desired doneness. For an optional touch of richness, add the tablespoon of butter to the pan during the last minute of cooking.
- 7. Remove from the oven, let the steak bites rest for a few minutes, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
