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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
