Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.25 lb sirloin steak
- 1 lb yukon gold potatoes
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Cooking Ingredients:
- 0.25 cup ghee or butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves
Instructions
- Cube the Yukon gold potatoes into precise ½-inch pieces, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
- Mince 3 garlic cloves finely, creating small, fragrant pieces that will distribute flavor evenly.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat at 375°F.
- Scatter the 1 lb potato cubes into the hot skillet, spreading them in a single layer to maximize crispiness.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon dried thyme, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper over the potatoes.
- Stir the potatoes occasionally, allowing them to develop a golden-brown crust for about 15-18 minutes.
- While potatoes cook, cut your 1 ¼ lb sirloin steak into precise ½-inch cubes.
- Once potatoes are crisp, transfer them to a plate and keep warm.
- Add remaining 2 tablespoons ghee to the same skillet, maintaining 375°F heat.
- Carefully place steak cubes in the skillet, ensuring they’re not overcrowded.
- Sear steak for 2-3 minutes, turning once to achieve a medium-rare doneness with a rich, caramelized exterior.
- Return potatoes to the skillet, gently tossing with steak to combine flavors.
- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste before serving immediately.
Notes
- Cutting uniform cubes ensures even cooking and a professional look for both steak and potatoes.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for the best caramelization and flavor development on both ingredients.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes after cooking to help retain its juices and achieve a more tender texture.
- For a lower-carb version, swap potatoes with cauliflower or zucchini cubes and adjust cooking time accordingly.
