Ingredients

Steak and Seasoning

  • 1 lb Top Sirloin Steak
  • 2 tsp Onion powder
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Dried Thyme
  • 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt (more or less as desired)
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper

Potatoes and Cooking

  • 1 1/2 lbs Baby Potatoes (cut in half)
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 6 tbsp Salted Butter
  • 2 Shallots or 1 Yellow Onion (diced)

Sauce and Garnish

  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Beef Bouillon Paste
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Rosemary (diced)
  • 6 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley (diced)

Instructions

  1. Season the Steak: Pat the top sirloin steak dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Cut the steak into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large bowl. Add onion powder, garlic powder, dried thyme, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to evenly coat the steak pieces with the seasonings. Set aside.
  2. Sear the Steak: Warm a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes until very hot. Drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil and add 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan. Once the butter has melted, add the steak pieces in a single layer. Sear the steak for 2-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  3. Cook the Potatoes: Remove the seared steak from the skillet and transfer to a plate. Add the halved baby potatoes to the same skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook the potatoes for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become fork-tender but still hold their shape.
  4. Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce: Add the remaining butter to the skillet with the potatoes and let it melt. Stir in the diced shallots and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Then, add Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, beef bouillon paste, fresh rosemary, and minced garlic. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the mixture is fragrant and well combined.
  5. Combine and Garnish: Return the cooked steak bites to the skillet and stir everything to coat the meat and potatoes evenly with the garlic butter sauce. Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with freshly diced parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Patting the steak dry before seasoning helps create a better sear and caramelization.
  • Cooking the steak in batches prevents overcrowding, ensuring the meat browns nicely instead of steaming.
  • If a cast iron skillet is not available, use a heavy-bottomed frying pan for even heat distribution.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, especially the salt and pepper based on dietary preferences.
  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor impact; dried rosemary can substitute if fresh is unavailable but use sparingly.
  • Serve this dish with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
