Ingredients

Scale

Steak and Potatoes

  • 3 teaspoons salt, or more to taste
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 2 pounds cubed steak (sirloin or NY strip)
  • 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed into small bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon browning sauce (optional, for color)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Garlic Butter

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt

For Garnish

  • Chopped parsley
  • Red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the seasoning mix: In a small bowl, combine salt, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Set this aside to season both the steak and potatoes uniformly.
  2. Season the steak and potatoes: Toss the cubed steak and peeled, cubed Yukon gold potatoes with the seasoning mix, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, and optional browning sauce to coat everything evenly. Make sure each piece is well-seasoned for maximum flavor.
  3. Cook the steak and potatoes: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned steak and potatoes in a single layer to allow browning. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the steak is browned and cooked to your preferred doneness and the potatoes are tender on the inside and crisp on the outside. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  4. Prepare the garlic butter: While the steak and potatoes cook, mix softened unsalted butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, and salt in a bowl until all ingredients are evenly combined.
  5. Add the garlic butter: When the steak and potatoes are just about done, reduce the heat to low and dollop the garlic butter over the skillet contents. Allow the butter to melt and coat the steak and potatoes, stirring gently to distribute the flavor well.
  6. Garnish and serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with extra chopped parsley and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a hint of heat. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the rich garlic butter infused steak and potatoes.

Notes

  • For best results, use Yukon gold potatoes as they hold their shape well during cooking and have a buttery flavor.
  • Adjust the salt to taste, especially if you include the optional browning sauce which may contain sodium.
  • If desired, substitute steak cuts like ribeye or tenderloin for variations in flavor and texture.
  • Use fresh parsley for garnish to add a fresh and vibrant note.
  • This recipe can be prepared in one skillet, reducing cleanup time.
  • For a spicier dish, add more red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne pepper in the seasoning mix.
