How to Make the Recipe
Now, let’s dive into the cooking process! This is where the magic happens:

- Sear steak: In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp butter. Add the steak bites in a single layer (be careful not to overcrowd). Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until they are browned and cooked to your liking. Remove and set aside.
- Make garlic butter: Reduce the heat, add the remaining 1 tbsp butter and the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Combine & serve: Return the steak and potatoes to the skillet. Toss everything in the garlic butter, ensuring each bite is coated in that delicious flavor. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes turn out perfectly every time:
- For extra flavor, marinate the steak in your favorite spices for a few hours before cooking.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for a beautiful sear on the steak.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or onions for a colorful twist.
- If you love garlic, don’t hesitate to add more cloves!
- This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of creamy garlic pasta for a complete meal.
How to Serve
When it comes to serving, I love to keep it simple yet elegant. Plate the steak bites and potatoes together, drizzling any remaining garlic butter over the top. You can also serve it alongside a fresh salad, like a creamy cucumber salad or a cucumber tomato salad, to add a refreshing crunch. This meal is not only satisfying but also visually appealing!
Make Ahead and Storage
If you’re planning ahead, you can prepare the steak and potatoes in advance. Just store them separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. This makes it a fantastic option for easy dinners with beef that you can enjoy any night of the week!
