A Reader’s Review
I was feeling uninspired for a while and then one fine day this recipe showed up like a blessing and I tried it out immediately. The garlic butter steak bites are lovely and I also serve it to the guests some times. Utterly juicy and delicious to describe in a couple of words.
Why My Steak & Potatoes = Pure Magic
- Perfectly Tender Potatoes: You spoke, I listened! The updated cook time means no more undercooked potatoes. Just golden, tender potatoes that are worth every bite.
- Steakhouse-Level Sear: Searing the steak locks in juiciness and adds that crave-worthy caramelized crust. It’s flavor magic in a skillet.
- Big, Bold Flavor in Every Bite: With fresh garlic, herbs, butter, and all that savory steak goodness, this dish is packed with rich, intense flavor!
Garlic Butter Steak Bite & Potato Ingredients
- Olive Oil Swap: If you have a problem with olive oil smoking, switch to avocado oil. It has a higher smoke point and solves the problem fast.
- Want to add mushrooms? Cook them first in a bit of butter until their liquid evaporates. Then add the garlic, herbs, and potatoes. This keeps the pan from getting too wet, which would prevent the steak from searing properly.
How to Make How to Make Herb Butter Steak Bites & Potatoes
This herb butter steak bites and potato recipe is quite simple. If you’re a meat-and-potatoes person, you will love it! You would also love my Cube Steak with Mushroom gravy.
- Cook Potatoes: Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, then add olive oil, 1/2-inch cubed Yukon gold potatoes, garlic powder, and season with salt and ground black pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes before stirring. Continue to cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork tender. Remove them from the skillet, then set aside on a plate.
- Sear Steak: Turn the heat up to high, then add cut sirloin steak and season the beef with salt and ground black pepper. Let the steak sear for a minute, then stir and cook the steak bites until they are golden brown, about 4-5 minutes total.
- Add Herbs & Butter: Add unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped fresh thyme, rosemary, and oregano.
- Combine: Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet, then cook for 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve immediately.
Time-Saving Potato Tip!
Want to speed things up? Pre-cook your potatoes before adding them to the skillet using one of these easy shortcuts:
- Boil for 6 minutes
- Bake at 350°F for 8–10 minutes
- Microwave (my fave!) in a microwave-safe bowl for 4–5 minutes
Storing Leftover Garlic Butter Steak Bites
These garlic herb and butter steak bites make delicious leftovers, and I love having them for lunch or dinner the next day!
- In the Fridge: You can store leftover steak bites in an airtight container in your refrigerator for 2-3 days.
- Reheating: When you are ready to eat them, cook them in a skillet on low until they are heated through.

This is a wonderful base recipe! Thank you for sharing! I’ve used it a dozen or so times over the last year, especially when camping (using griddle) and it’s amazing every time! We’ve deviated from salmon to gnocchi, added veggies like onions and zucchini and and peppers (red, yellow, orange and green). Agree that potatoes need a tad longer but really? Just eat one and you’ll know when it’s ready!
Thanks again for sharing!
Well my potatoes burned and they needed a lot longer then 6 min.
I made this tonight I raised the potatoes for 15 min and then followed the directions. It was yummy. Definitely will make this again. Thank you for the recipe.
Thanks For Sharing this amazing recipe. My family loved it. I will be sharing this recipe with my friends. Hope the will like it.
I marinated my steak bites with McCormick Brazilian steakhouse season. Added great flavor!
This is a keeper. It was wonderful. I did the baking soda for a tenderizer and it worked. The potatoes are just bursting with flavor. I did not change a thing. Thank you.
Delicious but hilarious that the recipe says potatoes are going to he cooked in 6 minutes. Maybe if they’re 5mm thick!
Finally….a meal everyone ate! I think I’m the only one who was critical but of course, aren’t we always our own worst critics? I had to use my cast iron grill pan but it worked. (And now I have a new method for cooking my breakfast potatoes!) The meal could have used more depth of flavor and that is my biggest critique. Not sure what to add – garlic powder? I don’t want to add onions. Perhaps a tad more salt? Overall, it was awesome! All 3 of children ate most of it and 1 returned for 2nd helpings. I was pleased as punch.
Hi
Do you have to use a cast iron?
I don’t have one
Any oven/stove top skillet will work!
Tasty & full of flavour, great mid week recipe. The whole family enjoyed it and that’s no mean feat. I used new potato’s which needed to be par boiled, but worked so well. Definitely make this again ??
I cut my potatoes and steak add the same ingredients and put everything in a sheet pan and bake at 375 for 45 minutes and it’s wonderful and in the summer time I throw it on the grill in foil packs and cook about 30 minutes
5 stars I like sirloin steak
Loved the steak bites but my potatoes took about 30 minutes to actually cook and the garlic burned! The potatoes were inedible unfortunately. Next time I’ll roast the potatoes and make the steak in the cast iron skillet.
I made this and did a quick microwave steam on the potatoes. This meal was OH SO YUMMY and super easy to make after working all day!! Thank you so much for sharing.
Could sweet potatoes be a substitute for yukon potatoes?
Yes, it will cook up a little quicker.
My family loved this recipe. Even my picky eater devoured a second helping. I’m floored! I did use dry vs fresh herbs so used only 1/2 teaspoon of each.
I made this tonight and it was delicious…didn’t have a cast iron pan so I used my wok?♀️ Turned out well…I’m laughing now, because I added a chopped onion….my recipe had several pictures of an onion being cut (apparently an add for a knife sharpener)…so I cut one during prep and used it rather than waste it?
This is absolutely delicious!! I’m back to make it for a 3rd time!! Huge hit for my entire (very picky), family!
