One-Pan Garlic Steak Bites & Crispy Potatoes: The Ultimate 30-Minute Comfort Feast

The Best Garlic Steak Bites and Potatoes Recipe

Introduction

Few dishes satisfy a craving for hearty, rich flavor and unbeatable comfort quite like Garlic Steak Bites and Potatoes. Packed with savory, garlicky goodness and seared to perfection, this one-pan classic is a champion for weeknight dinners and bustling gatherings alike. Succulent steak pieces and creamy potatoes are made to be together, and this dish is quick enough to pull together without sacrificing an ounce of flavor.

Why This Garlic Steak Bites & Potatoes Recipe Stands Out

What makes this recipe utterly irresistible is the balance of texture and taste: buttery potatoes with golden, crispy edges mingling with juicy, tender steak bites. The array of herbs and a generous dose of garlic infuses plenty of punch, ensuring every bite bursts with flavor. Plus, it all comes together in one skillet, which means less cleanup and more enjoyment.

How to Achieve Impeccable Steak & Potato Texture

Choosing the right cut of steak and the perfect potato size is key. Opt for sirloin or ribeye for optimal tenderness, and chop your potatoes into uniform cubes for even, crispy results. Using a Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper speeds things up and guarantees picture-perfect, evenly-sized pieces every time.

A SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch provides even heat distribution for that golden sear on both steak and potatoes. For air fryer enthusiasts, this recipe adapts beautifully—simply toss your seasoned ingredients into a COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, Compact & Large 6-Qt for lighter, ultra-crispy results.

Step-by-Step: Making the Best Garlic Steak Bites and Potatoes

To ensure maximum flavor, sear your potatoes first until crisp and golden, then set them aside. Next, quickly sear the steak bites to lock in the juices, followed by a quick sauté with butter, garlic, and herbs before tossing everything together. A ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking helps you monitor steak doneness to perfection—aim for a juicy medium-rare or medium.

Serve straight from the skillet for a rustic, family-style presentation, or portion them into meal prep containers like the Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 for convenient lunches throughout the week. This dish shines alongside a simple green salad or steamed vegetables.

Ingredients

1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 lb baby potatoes, quartered
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
3 tablespoons olive oil (or cooking spray)
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (or a mix of thyme, oregano, rosemary)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Optional: Pinch of crushed red pepper

Instructions

  1. Prep your steak and potatoes into 1-inch pieces using the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper for quick, precise chopping.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch over medium-high. Add potatoes, season with salt, pepper, and half the herbs, and cook 8–10 minutes until golden and fork-tender, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
  3. In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and half the butter. Once melted and hot, add steak in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and remaining herbs. Cook undisturbed 2–3 minutes, then stir and cook until browned with a perfect sear—about 2–3 minutes more. Use the ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking to ensure your steak reaches your desired doneness (130°F for medium-rare).
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low, add remaining butter and minced garlic. Sauté 1 minute until fragrant, scraping up browned bits from pan.
  5. Return potatoes to the pan, toss everything to coat in garlic butter. Cook 2–3 minutes more to meld flavors. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and an optional pinch of crushed red pepper.
