Garlic butter steak and potatoes is an easy skillet dinner with juicy sirloin steak bites and golden potatoes tossed with garlic, butter and savory seasonings.
Prepare potatoes and steak. Rub 2 teaspoons steak rub (or salt and pepper) over the meat and let rest for 10-15 minutes while you cook the potatoes.
Cook potatoes. Heat cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1 Tablespoon olive oil and 1 Tablespoon butter. Once butter has melted, add 1 pound potatoes into the skillet and stir until coated. Cook for a few minutes and then sprinkle 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, salt and pepper over top. Cook for 15-20 more minutes (or until fork tender), stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Set aside on a plate once cooked.
Sear steak. While potatoes are cooking, cut steak into 1 inch cubes. Increase the heat to medium high heat and add 1 Tablespoon of butter with the steak cubes. Place evenly on the pan and let sear for 1 minute and then flip with a fork or spatula to the other side. Cook an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and no longer pink. Be careful to not over cook.
Add garlic: Add the last Tablespoon of butter and the garlic in with the meat and cook for 1 minute.
Combine. Add the potatoes back into the skillet and remove from the heat. Top with fresh herbs if desired. Serve while warm.
