1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a large baking sheet, toss 1 1/2 lbs baby Yukon gold potatoes (halved) with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika. Spread them in a single layer for even roasting.
02 -
Roast the seasoned potatoes for 20 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown. This forms the delicious base for your Comforting Garlic Butter Beef Bites with Potatoes. Flip them halfway through the cooking time for optimal crispiness.
03 -
While the potatoes roast, pat dry 1 1/2 lbs sirloin steak (cut into 1-inch pieces) with paper towels. In a bowl, toss the beef with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
04 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the seasoned beef bites in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from skillet and set aside.
05 -
In the same skillet (no need to clean), melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 6 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp dried thyme, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
06 -
Return the seared beef bites and roasted potatoes to the skillet with the aromatic garlic butter. Toss gently to coat everything thoroughly. Stir in 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley. This step brings together all the flavors for your Comforting Garlic Butter Beef Bites with Potatoes.
07 -
Serve your Comforting Garlic Butter Beef Bites with Potatoes immediately. The rich garlic butter glaze perfectly complements the tender beef and potatoes. Garnish with extra fresh parsley for a vibrant finish and enjoy this hearty meal!
# Notes:
01 -
For extra crispy potatoes, ensure they are spread in a single layer on the baking sheet and don't overcrowd the pan. Flipping them halfway through helps with even browning.
02 -
Feel free to substitute sirloin with other quick-cooking cuts like flank steak or even chicken breast, adjusting cooking times as needed. For a vegetarian option, use mushrooms and bell peppers.
03 -
This dish is a complete meal on its own, but a simple side salad or some steamed green beans would be a lovely addition to balance the richness.
04 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until warmed through.
