Ingredients

Scale

Spice Mix

  • 3 teaspoons salt (or more to taste)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons paprika

Steak and Potatoes

  • 2 pounds cubed steak (such as sirloin or NY Strip)
  • 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes (peeled and cubed into small bite-sized pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Browning sauce (optional, for color)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Garlic Herb Butter

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • Red pepper flakes (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spice Mix: In a small bowl, whisk together the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Divide this seasoning blend evenly into two equal portions and set aside for later use.
  2. Make the Garlic Herb Butter: In another small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter with minced garlic and chopped fresh parsley. Mix until well incorporated and set aside.
  3. Season the Steak: In a large bowl, add the cubed steak, Worcestershire sauce, optional browning sauce, and half of the prepared spice mix. Toss thoroughly to ensure the steak is evenly coated with all the flavors.
  4. Parboil and Season Potatoes: Boil the cubed Yukon gold potatoes in a pot of boiling water for 5 to 6 minutes until they just begin to soften. Drain and let cool slightly. Once cooled, toss the potatoes with the remaining half of the seasoning mixture and 1 tablespoon olive oil to coat evenly.
  5. Sear the Steak: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned steak cubes and sear them for 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally until browned on all sides. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
  6. Cook the Potatoes: In the same skillet, add the parboiled and seasoned potatoes. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes until the potatoes turn golden brown and are fork-tender.
  7. Combine and Finish: Return the seared steak to the skillet with the potatoes. Add the garlic herb butter and toss everything together gently to coat the steak and potatoes in the butter and spices. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat. Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful garlic butter steak and potatoes!

Notes

  • Parboiling the potatoes ensures they cook through while allowing a golden crust when sautéed.
  • Using browning sauce is optional but adds a rich color to the steak.
  • Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preference, adding more salt or red pepper flakes if desired.
  • This recipe works well with other steak cuts or even chicken pieces.
  • For added flavor, use fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary along with parsley.
