Ingredients

Scale

Steak and Potatoes

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

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

For Garnish

  • Parsley, chopped
  • Red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the seasoning blend: In a small bowl, combine 3 teaspoons salt, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika. This will be the seasoning mix used to flavor both the steak and potatoes.
  2. Season the steak and potatoes: Toss the cubed steak and cubed Yukon gold potatoes separately with half of the seasoning mix each, ensuring even coating. This helps both components absorb the rich flavors.
  3. Mix the garlic butter: In a separate bowl, blend the softened unsalted butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, and 1 teaspoon salt until well combined. Set aside for later use.
  4. Cook the steak and potatoes: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak cubes and sear until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove steak and set aside. In the same skillet, add the seasoned potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown and are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
  5. Combine and finish cooking: Return the steak to the skillet with the potatoes. Add Worcestershire sauce and optional browning sauce to enhance color and flavor. Stir to coat evenly and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and well combined.
  6. Add garlic butter: Lower heat to medium-low and dollop the prepared garlic butter over the steak and potatoes. Stir gently until the butter is melted and everything is coated with the garlicky, buttery sauce.
  7. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped parsley and a pinch of red pepper flakes over the dish for freshness and a hint of spice. Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful garlic butter steak and potatoes.

Notes

  • You can substitute the steak cut with any tender cut suitable for quick cooking, like ribeye or tenderloin.
  • For extra crispiness, roast the potatoes separately in the oven at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes before adding to the skillet.
  • Browning sauce is optional but adds a richer color; soy sauce can be used as a substitute if unavailable.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level or omit if you prefer no heat.
  • Ensure the butter is softened to mix more easily with garlic and herbs for even flavor distribution.
