Tips and Tricks
- Choose the Right Steak: Sirloin is ideal for this recipe, but ribeye or filet mignon can also be used for extra tenderness.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Skillet: Cook the steak bites in batches to ensure they sear properly.
- Use Fresh Garlic: For an even stronger garlic flavor, substitute garlic powder with 2-3 minced garlic cloves.
- Crispier Potatoes: For extra crunch, toss the potatoes halfway through roasting.
Variations and Customizations
- Add Veggies: Include roasted asparagus, broccoli, or bell peppers for a complete meal.
- Spice It Up: Add a dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce for a spicier kick.
- Cheesy Potatoes: Mix in shredded mozzarella or cheddar with the Parmesan for extra cheesiness.
- Herb Twist: Swap Italian seasoning for rosemary, thyme, or oregano for a different flavor profile.
Pairing Suggestions
- Wine Pairing: A bold red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon or Malbec complements the steak beautifully.
- Side Salad: Serve with a fresh arugula or Caesar salad for a lighter touch.
- Bread: Warm garlic bread or dinner rolls are perfect for soaking up the garlic butter sauce.
Storage Instructions
- Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: Freeze steak bites and potatoes separately in freezer-safe bags for up to 2 months.
- Reheating: Reheat in a skillet over medium heat for the steak bites and in the oven or air fryer for the potatoes to retain crispiness.

Ingredients
For the Steak Bites:
- 1 lb sirloin steak (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 2 tbsp butter (for a rich, savory flavor)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (to prevent sticking and add depth)
- 1 tsp garlic powder (for a burst of garlicky goodness)
- Salt & pepper to taste (season to perfection)
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a hint of heat)
For the Parmesan Roasted Potatoes:
- 1 lb baby potatoes (halved for even cooking)
- 2 tbsp olive oil (to crisp up the potatoes)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan (adds a cheesy, nutty flavor)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning (for a herby touch)
- Salt & pepper to taste (essential for seasoning)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
- Cook the Steak Bites: While the potatoes are roasting, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and butter. Once the butter melts, add the steak cubes in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
- Season the Steak: Sprinkle the steak bites with garlic powder, red pepper flakes (if using), and additional salt and pepper to taste. Toss to coat evenly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Plate the steak bites alongside the crispy Parmesan roasted potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley or extra Parmesan if desired.
Notes
- For a richer sauce, add an extra tablespoon of butter and a splash of beef broth to the skillet after cooking the steak.
- If you prefer medium-rare steak, cook the bites for 2-3 minutes per side.
