  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried thyme)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped (or 1/2 tsp dried parsley)

  • 1/2 tsp fresh thyme (or 1/4 tsp dried thyme)

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

For the garlic herb potatoes:

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

  2. Prepare the potatoes: In a bowl, toss the halved or quartered baby potatoes with olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Make sure the potatoes are well-coated with the seasoning mixture.

  3. Roast the potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges, and fork-tender when pierced.

  4. Optional Parmesan topping: For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of roasting. Return to the oven to melt the cheese.

For the butter steak bites:

  1. Prepare the steak: While the potatoes are roasting, season the steak bites with salt and pepper on all sides.

  2. Sear the steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the steak bites in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Sear the steak bites for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked to your desired doneness (medium-rare to medium is recommended for tenderness). Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.

  3. Make the garlic butter sauce: In the same skillet, add the butter, minced garlic, fresh thyme, and rosemary. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant and the butter melts.

  4. Toss the steak in the butter: Return the steak bites to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic herb butter sauce for 1-2 minutes, making sure each piece is coated in the flavorful sauce. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Serve:

  1. Assemble the dish: Serve the butter steak bites alongside the roasted garlic herb potatoes on a platter or individual plates. Drizzle any extra garlic butter sauce from the skillet over the steak bites for added flavor.

  2. Garnish and enjoy: Garnish the potatoes and steak with extra fresh parsley, if desired, and enjoy this hearty, flavorful meal!

Servings and Timing

  • Servings: 4 servings

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes

  • Cook Time: 30-35 minutes

  • Total Time: 40-45 minutes

Variations

  1. Spicy Steak Bites: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter sauce for a bit of heat, or marinate the steak bites with chili powder and cayenne pepper before cooking.

  2. Creamy Garlic Herb Potatoes: Add a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of cream over the roasted potatoes for a creamy variation.

  3. Different Herbs: Feel free to switch up the herbs in both the steak and potato portions. Basil, oregano, or tarragon can offer different aromatic flavors.

  4. Grilled Version: If you prefer grilling, you can grill the steak bites and toss them with the garlic butter sauce after grilling. Grill the potatoes in a foil packet or on skewers for a smoky twist.

Storage/Reheating

  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the steak and potatoes in separate containers if possible to maintain their textures.

  • Reheating: To reheat the steak, warm it in a skillet over low heat, adding a little butter to maintain moisture. For the potatoes, reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.

Conclusion
