Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Seasonings
- 2 pounds top sirloin steak, cut into 1 1/2- to 2-inch chunks
- 1 teaspoon low-sodium Montreal steak seasoning (or 1/2 teaspoon if using full sodium)
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Potatoes
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved or cut into 1-inch chunks
Cooking Fats and Garnish
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons salted butter, divided
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Prep ingredients: Combine kosher salt, ground black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Cut the baby potatoes into halves or 1-inch chunks. Cut the top sirloin steak into 1 1/2- to 2-inch chunks and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels to ensure better searing.
- Cook potatoes: Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter together with the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the potatoes in a single layer in the skillet, flat side down. Sprinkle half of the seasoning mixture over the potatoes. Cook without stirring for 4-5 minutes to develop a golden crust.
- Season steak: While the potatoes cook, toss the steak chunks with the Montreal steak seasoning to evenly coat all pieces.
- Finish potatoes: Flip the potatoes to cook on the other side. Sprinkle the remaining half of the seasoning mixture over them. Continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes until tender and golden. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook steak: Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak bites in a single layer. Cook for approximately 2 minutes per side, frequently turning to brown all sides evenly. This will achieve a medium-rare doneness.
- Combine and serve: Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the steak bites and cook together for an additional 1 minute to warm everything through. Remove the skillet from heat and let rest for 2 minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- Patting the steak dry before seasoning helps achieve a better sear.
- Adjust cooking times slightly for desired level of steak doneness.
- Use baby potatoes or small new potatoes for quicker cooking.
- Low-sodium Montreal seasoning is recommended to control salt levels.
- Letting the dish rest briefly before serving helps juices redistribute and flavors meld.
