Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Roasted Potatoes

Ingredients

• 200g Beef top loin steak, raw
• 250g Raw russet potatoes without skin
• 15g Garlic, raw
• 15g Salted butter

Method

1. 1Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
2. 2Prepare the potatoes: Wash and cut the russet potatoes into 1-inch cubes (leave skins on for texture and nutrients). Toss with a light spray of cooking spray, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on one half of the baking sheet.
3. 3Roast potatoes: Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes until they begin to soften and develop light browning around the edges.
4. 4Prepare the steak: Pat the beef top loin steak dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper. Cut into 1.5-inch bite-sized cubes.
5. 5Sear the steak: Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat (no oil needed - the steak has sufficient marbling). Once hot, add steak bites in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until a golden crust forms. Work in batches if needed to avoid crowding. Steak should reach 130-135°F internal temperature for medium-rare.
6. 6Make garlic butter: While steak cooks, mince the garlic finely. In the final minute of cooking, reduce heat to medium-low and add butter and minced garlic to the skillet with the steak. Swirl constantly for 60-90 seconds until fragrant and the garlic begins to soften slightly.
7. 7Combine and serve: Transfer steak bites and garlic butter to a plate. Add the roasted potatoes (remove from oven when golden). Toss potatoes with any remaining garlic butter from the pan and season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
8. 8Rest and serve: Let the dish rest for 2 minutes before eating to allow flavors to settle. Serve immediately while hot.
