2. Steak Made Simple

Steak doesn’t need to be complicated to taste amazing. By cutting your steak into bite-sized pieces, you cut down on cooking time and get a nice, crispy crust on each piece. The key to perfect steak bites is to sear them in a hot pan, which locks in the juices and creates that irresistible brown exterior. Then, finish them off with a quick garlic butter sauce to elevate the flavor even further. You won’t believe how easy it is to get juicy, flavorful steak with just a few ingredients.

3. Crispy, Seasoned Potato Wedges

Golden, crispy wedges with a perfectly seasoned exterior. The best part? You can make them while the steak bites cook, so everything is ready at the same time.

4. A Versatile Meal

This meal is versatile and customizable. You can easily swap out the potatoes for sweet potatoes for a slightly different flavor profile or add a side of steamed veggies for some extra nutrition. If you like a little heat, try sprinkling red pepper flakes on the steak bites or dipping them in a spicy sauce. The possibilities are endless!

5. Perfect for Any Occasion

Whether you’re cooking for a family dinner, meal prepping for the week, or preparing a dish for a small gathering, these steak bites with potato wedges are a hit. You can even make them on the fly when guests drop by—you’ll have a full, satisfying meal ready in no time.

Tips for Success:

• Use the Right Cut: While any steak can work for this recipe, cuts like sirloin or ribeye are great because they’re tender and full of flavor. Choose the cut that fits your budget and preferences.
• Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking the steak bites, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This allows each piece to sear properly, giving it a nice crispy exterior and juicy interior.
• Get Creative with Sauces: Want to take these steak bites to the next level? Serve them with a tangy BBQ sauce, a creamy ranch dip, or even a spicy chipotle aioli for dipping.

Ingredients:

For the Steak Bites:

• 1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak (or any cut you prefer)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp dried thyme (or fresh)
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced

For the Potato Wedges:

• 2 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into wedges
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potato Wedges:

   • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
   • Cut the scrubbed potatoes into wedges. Try to keep them as even in size as possible for uniform cooking.
   • Toss the potato wedges in a bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure they’re evenly coated.
   • Spread the wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet, leaving space between each wedge for maximum crispiness.
   • Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re golden and crispy.

2. Prepare the Steak Bites:

   • While the potatoes are roasting, cut the steak into bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch cubes). Season them generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, and thyme.
   • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tbsp olive oil. Once hot, add the steak bites in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan (you may need to cook them in batches).
   • Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they develop a nice brown crust. For medium-rare, aim for about 5-7 minutes total cooking time.
   • Once the steak bites are done, remove them from the pan and set them aside.

1. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:

   • In the same pan, reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and let it melt. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
   • Return the steak bites to the pan and toss them in the garlic butter sauce for an additional 1-2 minutes, making sure they’re evenly coated.

2. Serve:

   • Once the potato wedges are crispy and golden, remove them from the oven.
   • Serve the savory steak bites on a plate with a side of crispy potato wedges. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
   • You can serve these steak bites with your favorite dipping sauce (BBQ sauce, ranch, or even a spicy aioli works great!).
