Ingredients
Potatoes:
¼ cup ghee or butter, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb yukon gold potatoes, cut into ½ inch cubes
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more to taste
Steak:
1 ¼ lb sirloin steak, cut into ½ inch cubes
Instructions
Prep: Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and two tablespoons of the ghee to the pan.
Cook the potatoes: Once the ghee is melted, add the potatoes and sprinkle the garlic, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper over top of the potatoes in the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes before stirring the potatoes. Stir the potatoes and cook until they are golden brown and fork tender, about 8-10 minutes. (Note: this will take longer if the potatoes are crowded in the pan, or your potato pieces are larger.) Stir frequently, about every 1-2 minutes, to prevent sticking. Remove the potatoes and the browned bits from the pan and set aside.
Sear the steak: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the remaining two tablespoons of ghee to the pan. Once melted, add the steak pieces and season with a dash of salt and pepper. Cook for at least 2 minutes before stirring the steak pieces. You want to make sure you get a good sear on them. Stir and continue to cook until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Combine: Add the potatoes back to the pan and stir to combine. Add more salt and pepper to taste. Top with freshly chopped parsley. Serve and enjoy!
