The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it’s heating up, wash and quarter the baby potatoes. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle olive oil over them and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper for added flavor.

Roast the potatoes in your preheated oven until golden brown and crispy, about 25-30 minutes. Give them a little shake halfway through cooking to ensure they crisp up nicely on all sides.

While the potatoes are roasting, cut your sirloin steak into bite-sized pieces. Season those juicy morsels with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavor.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt half of your unsalted butter until bubbly but not burnt. Add the seasoned steak bites in batches not overcrowding is key here Cook until they form a beautiful brown crust on each side, around 3-4 minutes per batch.

As you cook the steak bites, toss in minced garlic during the last minute of cooking to infuse that glorious aroma into every piece. It’s like a warm hug for your taste buds

Once everything is cooked to perfection, remove both the steak bites and crispy potatoes from heat. Toss them together in that skillet with any remaining garlic butter, along with fresh herbs to brighten up those rich flavors.

Serve these delightful Garlic Butter Steak Bites alongside the crispy potatoes on a platter that will make your guests swoon They’re perfect as an appetizer or as part of a main course alongside your favorite salad or vegetable dish.

And there you have it A quick yet delicious meal that brings family and friends together around the table while filling their stomachs and hearts with joy Enjoy every savory bite
