Why You’ll Love This Garlic Butter Steak Bites & Potatoes

This recipe is a favorite for weeknight dinners because it brings big flavor with minimal effort. Everything cooks in one skillet, so cleanup is a breeze.

What Kind of Steak Should I Use?

For steak bites, you want something tender that cooks quickly and stays juicy. Sirloin is a popular choice for its balance of flavor and affordability. Ribeye and tenderloin are more luxurious options if you’re going for richness. Just avoid tougher cuts like chuck or round—those are better suited for slow cooking.

Ingredients for the Garlic Butter Steak Bites & Potatoes

The ingredient list for this meal is simple, but each component is essential to creating those bold flavors that make it unforgettable.

• Steak
• Baby Potatoes
• Butter
• Olive Oil
• Garlic
• Fresh Parsley
• Salt
• Black Pepper
• Italian Seasoning

Using steak cut into bite-sized cubes lets you get that perfect crust while keeping the center juicy. Baby potatoes cook quickly and crisp up beautifully in the skillet. A combination of butter and olive oil gives you both richness and high heat cooking power. Fresh garlic adds that unmistakable aroma, while parsley finishes things off with color and brightness. Seasoning simply with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning keeps the flavor profile balanced and herby.

How To Make the Garlic Butter Steak Bites & Potatoes

Step 1: Sear the Potatoes

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add halved baby potatoes cut side down and cook until golden and fork-tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Steak Bites

In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed and place the steak pieces in a single layer. Let them sear without moving for 2–3 minutes, then stir and cook until browned and just cooked through. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.

Step 3: Make the Garlic Butter

Reduce heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add back the potatoes and steak, toss to coat in the garlic butter.

Step 4: Finish and Serve

Sprinkle everything with freshly chopped parsley and season to taste with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot and enjoy immediately.
