Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs beef sirloin steak cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 lb baby potatoes halved
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Large cast-iron skillet
  • Paper towels

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Pat the beef steak pieces dry with paper towels and season with salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme. Let sit for 15 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear beef pieces in a single layer for 3-4 minutes until a deep golden-brown crust forms.
  4. Flip the steak and cook for another 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
  5. Reduce heat to medium, add the remaining olive oil, and place potatoes cut-side down in the skillet.
  6. Cook potatoes undisturbed for 5 minutes, then stir and cook for another 5-7 minutes until tender.
  7. Push potatoes to the side, add butter and garlic to the skillet, and cook for 30 seconds.
  8. Return the steak and juices to the skillet, tossing everything to coat in the garlic butter.
  9. Cook for 1-2 minutes until heated through, then remove from heat.
  10. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For the best crust, dry the steak thoroughly before seasoning. Rest the steak after searing to keep juices inside.
