Seared sirloin cubes with seasoned Yukon Gold potatoes and garlic herb butter in one skillet.

# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Oils and Fats

01 - 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
02 - 2 tablespoons garlic and herb butter, divided

→ Produce

03 - 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into bite-sized cubes
04 - 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes

→ Seasonings

05 - 1 teaspoon salt, divided
06 - 1 teaspoon black pepper, divided
07 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder, divided

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon garlic herb butter. Once melted, add Yukon Gold potatoes and season with ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
02 - While potatoes cook, season sirloin cubes with ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder evenly.
03 - Push the cooked potatoes to one side of the skillet or remove if concerned about burning. Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon garlic herb butter to the empty side. Increase heat to medium-high. Add steak bites and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until browned and cooked to desired doneness. Cook in batches if the pan is crowded, removing potatoes if necessary to prevent burning.
04 - Lower heat to medium-low. Add extra garlic butter if desired and allow it to melt, coating the steak bites and potatoes. Toss gently to ensure even coating and a glossy finish. Adjust seasoning to taste before serving.

# Extra Tips & Details:

01 - To prevent potatoes from burning, remove them during steak cooking if necessary and return them to warm before serving.
02 - Use a meat thermometer to check steak doneness; 135°F (57°C) is ideal for medium.
