Ingredients
Scale
For the Potatoes
- ¼ cup ghee or butter, divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb Yukon gold potatoes, cut into ½ inch cubes
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more to taste
For the Steak
- 1 ¼ lb sirloin steak, cut into ½ inch cubes
- Additional ghee or butter for cooking
- Salt and pepper to season
For Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Potatoes: Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of ghee or butter. Once hot, add the cubed Yukon gold potatoes, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried oregano, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown on the outside and tender inside, about 12-15 minutes.
- Sear the Steak: Increase the heat to medium-high. Add additional ghee or butter to the skillet. Season the sirloin steak cubes generously with salt and pepper. Add the steak to the skillet in a single layer to ensure proper searing. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the steak pieces develop a golden brown crust and reach your preferred doneness.
- Combine and Serve: Mix the cooked potatoes and steak bites together in the skillet to combine the flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if needed. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a burst of freshness if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Use a cast iron skillet for the best sear and even cooking.
- Yukon gold potatoes are ideal because they crisp up nicely while remaining creamy inside.
- Feel free to swap ghee for unsalted butter if preferred.
- If you want the steak more well done, cook it for an additional 1-2 minutes per side.
- Fresh parsley adds a nice color contrast and flavor but is optional.
