Garlic Butter Herb Steak Bites with Potatoes
My steak-loving son is always begging for steak every single week. He loves steak and potatoes, and I love easy meals, so it is a win-win situation! This meal is so delicious, though, that everyone loves it, even those who normally prefer chicken or pork.
These small steak bites are covered with a delicious buttery garlic herb sauce that brings the most delicious flavor. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it! Plus, this is a one-skillet meal which means that since everything is cooked in the same pan, you get a blend of all of the flavors all at once. Trust me because this isn’t a recipe that you want to miss!
Ingredients in Steak Bites
These garlic butter herb steak bites pack a punch with the flavor, and yet achieving that delicious taste is so easy! Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for all of the exact measurements.
- Olive Oil: You will cook the steak and potatoes in this.
- Butter: I used unsalted butter in this recipe.
- Yukon Gold Potatoes: Once you slice these up into quarters, then they will be the perfect size to complement the steak bites.
- Garlic Cloves: You can use minced garlic if you don’t have fresh garlic cloves on hand. 1/2 teaspoon equals about 1 clove of garlic.
- Dried Thyme, Rosemary, and Oregano: These dried herbs bring together a delicious aroma of flavors.
- Sirloin Steaks: The better the cut of steak, the better your meat will turn out!
- Salt and Pepper: These enhance all of the flavors in the steak bites.
Let’s Make Garlic Herb Butter Steak Bites
- Cook the Potatoes: Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and then add olive oil and butter, potatoes, garlic, thyme, rosemary, and oregano. Cook for about 3 minutes, stir, and cook an additional 3 minutes until fork tender. Remove and set aside on a plate.
- Add Steak: Turn the skillet to high heat. Add the steak bites. Let the steak sear for a minute, and then continue to stir the steak until they are golden brown.
- Garnish: Top the steak with fresh chopped herbs (optional).
Do I have to use Sirloin Steak?
No! You can use other steaks in this garlic herb and butter steak bite recipe. You can substitute with a tenderloin, or New York strip steak.
Storing Leftovers
These garlic herb and butter steak bites make delicious leftovers, and I love having them for lunch or dinner the next day! You can store leftover steak bites in an airtight container in your fridge for 2-3 days. Then, when you are ready to reheat them, cook them in a skillet on low until they are heated through.
Sides to Go With It

Can I use a regular frying pan for this recipe?
Yes, however, sometimes the bottom isn’t thick enough on regular frying pans and can cause the potatoes and meat to burn. So just make sure that you watch it carefully!
I hate when the picture shows quartered potatoes but you need to practically dice them to cook in 3 minutes. Still good.
Cook times vary depending on many factors when cooking. I think mine took about 8 minutes but they cooked and the recipe was delicious
Do you think this could be done in the instant pot?
I haven’t tried that with this specific recipe before so I would have to test out the times but I’m sure it could be done.
Can I use russet potatoes if I Don have red/white potatoes?
Those should work fine!
No what I expected not to mention the timing is way off! Too longer than expected. I thought it’s be better
Are you referring to the potatoes? I think they need longer than mentioned and the garlic and herbs should be added the last minute or two.
Very good and very easy for this working lady. My husband loved this.
Thank you
What kind of steak did you use?
Wow! looking yummy with potatoes and garlic mixture. This will be great dish for my afternoon diet. Thanks!
I cooked this dish today and everyone was right about the potatoes, but I used the red potatoes instead, also besides the salt and pepper and the herbs it calls for, I added a little of my own seasoning to boost the flavor along with some bell peppers and onions. We love using herbs in our home and it came out good. I did do the garlic bread with salad on the side.
This recipe is meant to fail the first time! Don’t give up!! Highly recommend steaming potato no longer than 5-7 minutes ( my steamer says 9mins but the potatoes kept falling apart) before putting on the pan to cook for 6 minutes. Also I didn’t have a cast iron pan, I used just a regular pan but the heat doesn’t need to be so high. I used medium to medium low.
Good luck 👍
This looked an amazing dish, we had it tonight for supper, I agree with another comment you need to par boil or steam the potatoes first, I added sliced Brussel sprouts to it, it was delicious. Not being a great steak person (my husband is) I had more of the potatoes, sliced sprouts and garlic. I served it with toasted garlic butter sourdough. Definitely a firm favourite
I use baby potatoes, quarter and cook in microwave for 6 minutes prior to cast iron pan.
I usually add garlic powder and garlic salt with the fresh garlic. We LOVE garlic. I add all the herbs. I didn’t follow the amounts in this recipe. I eyed everything. It was delicious!!!
I make this all the time and love it. However, I do steam my potatoes first because there is no way they would be soft in 3 mins. But otherwise it’s really tasty!
My husband & I tried this recipe today. It sounded wonderful, but we did not like it at all. All those herbs, but no flavor. And, we never got potatoes cooked in just 6 minutes (took us more like 20 minutes).
Love this recipe! It has become a staple in my house. I have made it at least twice a month for about a year. I use cheap chuck steak to not break the bank and it tastes great! I prefer my potatoes soft so I cook them about 15-20 min on low to medium. I prep the potatoes first and then let them start cooking while I dice up the steak and by the time the steak is cooked the potatoes are usually done. Fast, easy, and delicious!
What is the serving size?
I agree with some of the other comments, the potatoes do not cook in 6 minutes and the garlic burns. Would use a different recipe next time.
