Questions I often get about this recipe:

Q: What if I don’t have fresh herbs?
A: You can use 1 tablespoon of dried parsley or thyme instead of fresh parsley.
Q: Can I use another cut of steak?
A: Yes, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs, pork tenderloin, or even fish fillets instead of steak. Adjust the cooking time based on the chosen protein.
What you need to make this delicious recipe:
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
How to make it:
Instructions:
Marinate the steak (optional): In a large bowl, combine the steak, olive oil, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat and marinate for 5 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for deeper flavor.
Cook the potatoes: Heat a large cast iron skillet or oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the pan. Add the potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Cook the steak: Remove the potatoes from the pan and set aside. Increase the heat to high and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once the butter is melted and sizzling, add the steak in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until desired doneness.
Finish the dish: Return the potatoes to the pan with the steak. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Tips:
For a richer flavor, use grass-fed or dry-aged steak.
You can also use boneless, skinless chicken thighs or pork tenderloin instead of steak.
If you don’t have fresh herbs, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried parsley or thyme.
Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted broccoli, green beans, or a simple salad.
Additional times:
Marinating time: 5-30 minutes (optional)
Resting time: Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
