- 4 tablespoons olive oil (divided)

Here’s a glimpse of the fresh ingredients before cooking.
Directions
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the halved or quartered baby potatoes, seasoning them with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and fork-tender. Once done, remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
Meanwhile, season the steak cubes with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Sear the steak in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches) for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Be careful not to overcook the steak; it should remain tender.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet and toss everything together, ensuring an even coating of garlic and butter.
Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes to heat through. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient Substitutions: You can substitute sirloin steak with other cuts like ribeye or flank steak. For a lower-carb option, try replacing the baby potatoes with zucchini or cauliflower.
- Optional Variations: Add veggies like bell peppers or onions for added flavor and nutrition. A splash of Worcestershire sauce can also enhance the steak’s flavor.
- Storage or Reheating Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm in a skillet over medium heat until heated through.
