Ingredients

Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.

Steak (ribeye or sirloin), cut into bite-sized pieces
Baby potatoes, halved or quartered
Unsalted butter
Garlic cloves, minced
Olive oil
Salt
Ground black pepper
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F).
Toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet or in a large ovenproof skillet, then roast until tender and crisp, about 20 minutes.
While the potatoes roast, season the steak bites with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, melt a bit of butter with olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites in a single layer—work in batches if needed—and sear until browned on all sides and cooked to your preferred doneness, about 2–3 minutes per side. Remove steak and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and the remaining butter. Sauté just until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Return the steak bites to the skillet, tossing to coat them in the garlic butter sauce.
Add the roasted potatoes to the skillet, mixing gently so everything is evenly coated. Cook together for a minute or two to marry the flavors.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Servings and timing

Servings: I estimate this recipe makes about 4 servings.
Prep time: approximately 10 minutes

Variations

I sometimes swap out baby potatoes for small Yukon Golds or fingerlings.
If I want a veggie boost, I add halved Brussels sprouts or thin asparagus spears in the oven with the potatoes for the last 10 minutes.
For extra heat, I stir in a pinch of red pepper flakes or drizzle with sriracha right before serving.
To elevate the sauce, I occasionally deglaze the pan with a splash of red wine or beef broth before tossing back the steak and potatoes.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When reheating, I prefer using a skillet over medium heat to preserve the crispness of the potatoes and rejuvenate the steak, adding a touch more butter or oil if needed. I avoid microwaves, as they tend to make the potatoes and steak lose texture.

FAQs

What cut of steak is best for steak bites?

I usually choose tender cuts like ribeye or sirloin because they sear nicely and stay juicy. Flank or skirt steak can work too, although I find them a bit firmer unless sliced thinly against the grain.

Can I use frozen potatoes?

I don’t recommend frozen potatoes for this recipe; fresh baby potatoes or small Yukon Golds roast up much better and give a superior texture.

How do I adjust for medium or well-done steak?

I let the steak bites cook a little longer—about 3–4 minutes per side—for medium, and 4–5 minutes for well-done. I watch the color closely to avoid overcooking.

Can this be made gluten-free?

It already is! There are no gluten ingredients here. Just ensure your butter and any optional additions are labeled gluten-free.

Can I prep parts of this ahead of time?

Absolutely. I’ll halve the potatoes and season the steak bites ahead of time. When ready to cook, I roast the potatoes and sear the steak fresh—it only saves about 5–10 minutes but makes dinnertime smoother.
