Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ cup ghee or butter, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb Yukon gold potatoes, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more to taste
  • 1 ¼ lb sirloin steak, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prep:
    Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of ghee (or butter) to the pan.
  2. Cook the Potatoes:
    Once the ghee is melted, add the potatoes to the skillet. Sprinkle the minced garlic, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper over the potatoes. Cook for 2-3 minutes without stirring to allow the potatoes to brown slightly. Stir and continue cooking for 8-10 minutes, stirring every 1-2 minutes, until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender. Remove the potatoes and any browned bits from the pan and set aside.
  3. Sear the Steak:
    Increase the heat to medium-high and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of ghee (or butter) to the pan. Once melted, add the steak pieces and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Let the steak sear for 2 minutes without stirring to develop a golden crust. Stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the steak is browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
  4. Combine:
    Add the cooked potatoes back to the skillet with the steak. Stir to combine and heat through. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  5. Serve:
    Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Potato Variations: You can use other small potato varieties like red, yellow, or fingerling potatoes.
  • Steak Options: Sirloin works well, but you can also use ribeye or flank steak for extra flavor.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet for best results.
