  • 1.5 lb Sirloin steak - Cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1.5 lb Baby potatoes - Halved, can sub Yukon Gold or red potatoes
  • 4 cloves Garlic - Minced
  • 3 tablespoon Butter - Or dairy-free alternative
  • 2 tablespoon Olive oil - For searing
  • Salt - To taste
  • Black pepper - To taste
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika - Optional flavor booster
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder - Optional, for added flavor
  • ½ teaspoon Red pepper flakes - Optional, for heat
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley - Chopped, for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme/rosemary - Optional, or use ½ teaspoon dried herbs
  • 1 teaspoon Cornstarch - Optional, for extra crispy potatoes
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground coffee - Optional, adds smokiness to steak

Equipment

  • 1 Cast-Iron Skillet (Or any heavy-bottomed large pan)
  • 1 Sharp knife (For cutting steak and potatoes)
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Tongs (For flipping steak and potatoes)
  • 1 Paper Towels (For drying potatoes before cooking)

Method
 

  1. Cut the baby potatoes in half, sprinkle with salt, and let them sit for 10 minutes. Pat them dry with paper towels, then toss with a little cornstarch to help them crisp up.
  2. Cut the sirloin steak into even bite-sized pieces. Let it come to room temperature. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and optionally a pinch of ground coffee for extra flavor.
  3. Heat the skillet with olive oil. Place the potatoes cut-side down and cook undisturbed for 5 minutes until crispy and golden. Remove them from the pan and set aside.

  4. Add the steak pieces in a single layer to the hot skillet. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side. Don’t overcrowd the pan — cook in batches if needed.
