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
- 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.

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.
