Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 29 minutes

Ingredients

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

1 ¼ lb sirloin steak, cut into ½ inch cubes

Directions

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!
