Step-by-step instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes until they are golden and tender.
While the potatoes are roasting, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sear the bite-sized pieces of sirloin steak until they are browned, about 4-5 minutes. Once cooked, set the steak aside.
In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, and oregano. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Return the seared steak to the skillet and coat it in the garlic butter sauce for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Combine the roasted potatoes with the steak and garlic butter sauce, ensuring everything is well mixed. For an extra touch of richness, melt the remaining butter on top.
Serve your delicious garlic butter steak and potatoes hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Dig in and enjoy this delightful meal with your loved ones!
Best ways to enjoy it
To present this dish beautifully, arrange the steak and potatoes on a large serving platter. A sprinkle of fresh parsley adds a pop of color and freshness. For sides, consider pairing with a crisp green salad or some sautéed vegetables like green beans or asparagus to add brightness. A splash of red wine or your favorite iced tea can round out the meal beautifully.
Storage and reheating tips
Leftovers? No problem! Store any uneaten portions in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you’d like to freeze them, seal in a freezer-safe bag and enjoy them later—just remember to consume them within 2-3 months. When reheating, a quick warm-up in a skillet will help retain the meat’s flavor and moisture, but you can also use a microwave if you’re in a hurry.
Helpful cooking tips
For the best results, let your steak come to room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking. This ensures that it cooks evenly. Don’t overcrowd the skillet; you want that glorious sear. If you’re worried about timing, prepare the potatoes and start them first since they take longer to roast. Lastly, don’t skip on the garlic; it’s what elevates this dish!
Creative twists
Looking to mix things up? Try adding a splash of balsamic vinegar to the garlic butter sauce for a tangy kick. Or go international with herbs like fresh cilantro or a dash of chili flakes for heat. You can also substitute the potatoes with sweet potatoes or cauliflower for different textures and flavors.
