Ingredients

Ingredient	Quantity
Sirloin Steak	1 ½ pounds, thinly sliced
Baby Potatoes	1 pound, halved
Unsalted Butter	4 tablespoons, divided
Garlic	4 cloves, minced
Dried Thyme	1 teaspoon
Dried Rosemary	1 teaspoon
Salt & Black Pepper	To taste
Fresh Parsley	Chopped, for garnish

Instructions

1. Sear the Steak:
   In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced steak, season with salt and black pepper, and cook until browned and cooked to your preference. Transfer the steak to a plate and set aside.
2. Cook the Potatoes:
   In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the halved baby potatoes, cut-side down. Cook for 4–6 minutes without stirring until they become golden and crispy on the edges.
3. Add Garlic and Herbs:
   Stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
4. Combine and Finish:
   Return the cooked steak to the skillet. Toss everything together, allowing the garlic butter to coat the steak and potatoes. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes to heat through.
5. Garnish and Serve:
   Remove from heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately while hot and flavorful.

Helpful Tips

• Use thinly sliced steak to ensure even cooking and quick browning.
• Do not overcrowd the skillet — it helps the steak sear instead of steam.
• Baby potatoes work best but any small potato variety can be used.
• Add more butter for a richer flavor if desired.

Recipe Variations

• Add sliced mushrooms for extra savoriness.
• Swap thyme and rosemary for Italian seasoning.
• Use ribeye instead of sirloin for a richer flavor.
• Add red pepper flakes for a spicy version.

FAQ

Can I use a different type of steak?
Yes! Ribeye, flank steak, or New York strip work great.

Can I make this ahead of time?
The dish tastes best fresh, but you can prep the potatoes and slice the steak earlier.

Can I add vegetables?
Absolutely — bell peppers, green beans, or asparagus go perfectly.
