Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
Cooking Fats:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
- 4 tablespoons (60 g) unsalted butter, divided
Seasonings and Herbs:
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Garnish:
- Freshly chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat a robust cast iron skillet to medium-high temperature, ensuring an even heat distribution. Introduce olive oil and initial butter portion, allowing the butter to melt completely and create a glistening cooking surface.
- Incorporate diced potatoes with aromatic garlic, rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper. Allow potatoes to develop a golden crust by avoiding stirring for approximately 4 minutes. Gently rotate potatoes and continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until achieving a fork-tender texture and rich caramelization.
- Transfer potatoes to a separate bowl. Elevate skillet temperature to high heat, introducing remaining butter and enabling it to melt rapidly.
- Carefully arrange steak cubes in a singular layer, ensuring maximum surface contact. Sear undisturbed for precisely 1 minute to develop a deep, rich exterior.
- Rotate steak cubes, continuing cooking for 1-2 minutes to reach preferred doneness. The goal is achieving a succulent, bronzed exterior while maintaining internal tenderness.
- Reunite potatoes with seared steak, gently tossing to integrate flavors and distribute buttery essence. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Optional: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finishing touch. Serve immediately while ingredients retain optimal temperature and texture.
Notes
- Choose a heavy-bottomed skillet like cast iron for even heat distribution and perfect searing of steak and potatoes.
- Pat steak dry before cooking to ensure a crispy exterior and prevent steaming instead of browning.
- Cut steak and potatoes into uniform bite-sized pieces for consistent cooking and attractive presentation.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to enhance natural meat and potato flavors, creating a delicious caramelized crust.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan to achieve optimal browning and prevent steaming the ingredients.
- Use high-quality butter for richer flavor and better caramelization during cooking.
- Customize the dish by adding herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra aromatic depth.
- For a low-carb version, replace potatoes with cauliflower or zucchini cubes.
