Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and two tablespoons of the ghee to the pan.
- Add the cubed potatoes, then sprinkle the minced garlic, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper over them. Cook for 2-3 minutes before stirring. Continue cooking for about 8-10 minutes until they are golden brown and fork-tender.
- Remove the potatoes from the pan and set them aside.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the remaining two tablespoons of ghee to the skillet. Once melted, add the cubed steak, seasoning with a dash of salt and pepper. Let it sear for 2 minutes without stirring.
- Stir the steak pieces for an additional 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown but still medium-rare. Return the potatoes to the pan and combine them with the steak. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Top with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
Use unsalted butter for a creamier taste. Fresh herbs enhance flavor significantly.
