    Steak and Potato Bites

    I married a man who is extremely picky. We compare his palate to that of a toddler ad joke that he's the ids menu guy, since those are the foods he prefers. But he's also a big meat-and-potatoes guy. So having a good steak bites recipe is a must for us.

    We all love a good steak and having them in bite-size pieces in the same pan as deliciously crispy potatoes is a sure-fire way to impress your family on a busy weeknight!

    Tips for making Steak Bites with potatoes

    • I like to pull the steak out at the beginning and let it sit and come closer to room temperature while I prep and cook the potatoes.
    • Pat the steak dry for optimal pan searing.
    • Cut the potatoes and steak pieces to around the same size so that they cook evenly. I prefer 1 inch chunks for the potatoes and 1 ½ - 2 inch chunks for the beef.
    • Using a mix of butter and olive oil helps prevent the butter from burning.
    • Turn the potatoes often to crisp each side evenly.
    • The cooking goes pretty fast with the steak- in terms of cooking time, I cook mine about 2-3 minutes so they're a nice medium rare inside but if you like them a little more well done, just keep them in a minute or two longer (just remember- you can always put them back into the pan if they're under cooked- but once they're overcooked you can't go back).
    • Be sure you're turning the steak bites often to brown each side. The idea is to get a quick sear so you're not overcooking.
    • Let the steak rest for a couple minutes before serving.

    What cut of beef is Sirloin?

    Sirloin comes from the rear portion of the cow and it comes in two parts, top and bottom. I prefer top sirloin because it tends to be more tender. But both types will work- the key to this cut is short cooking time.

    Can you make steak bites ahead?

    While I wouldn't encourage you to cook the whole recipe ahead, you can cut the steak ahead of time and even measure out the seasonings.

    Can I substitute regular potatoes for baby potatoes?

    Yes, just cut them to a uniform size (around 1 inch is ideal).

    Can I make this dairy-free?

    Yes! Just sub in a non-dairy butter alternative or even olive oil.

    How long do steak bites last?

    While these are best served immediately, the leftovers will last 3 days covered in the refrigerator and can be reheated in a pan or the microwave.

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 Tablespoon salted butter, divided
    • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
    • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
    • ½ teaspoon onion powder
    • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 pound baby potatoes halved (or full size potatoes cut to 1 inch chunks)
    • 2 pounds top sirloin steak, cut to 2 inch chunks
    • 1 teaspoon Low Sodium Montreal Steak Seasoning (or ¾ teaspoon if full sodium)
    • Fresh parsley chopped- for garnish

    Instructions
     

    • In a large saute pan, melt 1 Tablespoon butter and olive oil over medium high heat.
    • In a small bowl combine, salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. Set aside.
    • Once oil is shimmering, add potatoes to the pan in a single layer and sprinkle them with ½ the seasoning mixture. Cook for around 4-5 minutes.
    • While potatoes cook, toss steak bites in Montreal Steak Seasoning.
    • Turn the potatoes and sprinkle with remaining seasoning. Cook for 4-5 more minutes. Remove from pan to a bowl and cover with foil. Set aside.
    • Melt 1 Tablespoon butter and add steak bites in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes for medium rare (or a little long if you'd like it more well done). Turn frequently to brown all sides- this goes fast!
    • During the last minute of cooking add potatoes back into the pan.
    • Rest for 2 minutes and serve immediately with a sprinkle of parsley for garnish.

      Wow! Had some steak in the fridge but it was too cold to go outside and grill it. I found this recipe and, wow, it was amazing. My kids said it was the best thing ever cooked in this house. Excellent recipe. Thank you for posting! I did drizzle the soy sauce on the steak when it was cooking to give it a little extra flavor.
