Sirloin Steak and Potato Bites

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.

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).

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.
