Ingredients

• 1½ lbs sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
• 1½ lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered
• 4 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 5–6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Here are the fresh ingredients that will make this dish come alive.

Directions

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the halved or quartered baby potatoes to the skillet. Season them with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and fork-tender. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
3. Season the sirloin steak cubes with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs. In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter.
4. Sear the steak in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches) for 2–3 minutes per side until browned, taking care not to overcook.
5. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic to the pan. Sauté until fragrant, which should take about 1 minute.
6. Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet and toss everything together until well combined.
7. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes to heat through, then garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.

Tips & Variations

• Ingredient substitutions: If sirloin steak isn’t available, you can use flank steak or tenderloin. For a lighter option, consider substituting the potatoes with steamed green beans or zucchini.
• Optional variations: Add a splash of balsamic vinegar or red wine to the pan after cooking the steak, allowing it to reduce for a richer sauce.
• Storage or reheating tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm them in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave, ensuring not to overcook.
