Instructions

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half or quarters.

Toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of oil, salt, and pepper.

Cut the sirloin steak into 1-inch cubes and pat dry with paper towels.

Season the steak cubes generously with salt and pepper.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the potatoes in a single layer.

Cook the potatoes undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to get a golden crust.

Stir the potatoes and continue cooking for another 4-6 minutes until tender and crispy.

Remove the potatoes from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of oil and increase the heat to high.

Add the steak cubes in a single layer and sear for 2 minutes on one side.

Flip the steak and sear for another 1-2 minutes until browned but pink inside.

Reduce heat to medium, add 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic to the pan.

Toss everything together for about 60 seconds, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Add the cooked potatoes back into the pan with the steak and toss to coat.

Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and a final pinch of salt and pepper.

Serve the steak bites and potatoes immediately while hot.
