Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1.25 pounds sirloin steak (cut into 1/2-inch cubes)
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes (cut into 1/2-inch cubes)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Fats and Oils:
- 0.25 cup ghee or butter (divided)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt (plus more to taste)
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper (plus more to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat a large cast iron skillet to medium heat, allowing olive oil and ghee to melt and create a flavorful cooking surface.
- Introduce diced potatoes into the skillet, generously coating with minced garlic, dried thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Allow potatoes to develop a golden crust, stirring intermittently for 8-10 minutes until perfectly tender.
- Strategically remove potatoes and browned bits, reserving them for later incorporation.
- Elevate the skillet’s temperature to medium-high, adding remaining ghee to create an intense searing environment for steak cubes.
- Carefully place steak pieces into the hot pan, seasoning with salt and pepper. Allow undisturbed cooking for 2 minutes to develop a rich, caramelized exterior.
- Gently maneuver steak bites, continuing to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until achieving desired doneness with a beautiful golden-brown appearance.
- Reunite the reserved potatoes with the sizzling steak, creating a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.
- Perform a final taste assessment, adjusting seasoning as necessary to enhance the dish’s overall profile.
- Artfully garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately while at peak temperature and flavor.
Notes
- Select a cast iron skillet for optimal heat distribution and crispy exterior on both steak and potatoes.
- Cut potatoes into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Use high-quality ghee or butter for richer flavor and better searing performance of steak and potatoes.
- Let steak rest undisturbed during initial cooking to develop a beautiful golden-brown crust that locks in juicy tenderness.
