Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 ¼ pounds sirloin steaks, cut into 1 inch cubes
Starch:
- 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, sliced about ½ inch in thickness
Seasonings and Fats:
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 1 teaspoon thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon oregano, chopped
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat a robust cast iron skillet to medium-high temperature, creating an ideal cooking surface for developing rich flavors and achieving perfect caramelization.
- Drizzle olive oil into the skillet and melt butter until it shimmers with a golden hue, preparing the foundation for aromatic herb-infused cooking.
- Carefully introduce diced potatoes into the skillet, accompanied by minced garlic and a medley of fresh thyme, rosemary, and oregano, allowing the herbs to release their essential oils.
- Gently sauté the potato mixture, stirring occasionally to ensure even browning and preventing any burning, cooking for approximately 6 minutes until potatoes reach a tender, golden-crisp exterior.
- Transfer the herb-seasoned potatoes to a separate plate, preserving their warmth and crisp texture for later incorporation.
- Elevate the skillet’s heat to high, adding the remaining butter to create a searing environment perfect for the steak cubes.
- Introduce the steak pieces, allowing them to develop a rich, caramelized crust by searing undisturbed for a brief moment before gently stirring to ensure uniform browning on all surfaces.
- Reunite the reserved potatoes with the sizzling steak, gently folding them together to marry the flavors and create a harmonious, mouthwatering dish.
- Finish the preparation by generously garnishing with freshly chopped herbs, adding a vibrant and aromatic final touch that enhances the overall culinary experience.
Notes
- Selecting high-quality, fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, and oregano will dramatically boost the flavor profile and make this dish truly memorable.
- Pro chefs recommend letting the steak rest briefly after cooking to ensure maximum tenderness and juiciness, allowing the meat’s natural flavors to settle and intensify.
