Irresistible, marinated steak bites are served with perfectly browned gnocchi in this quick and easy, family favorite meal.
Steak and potatoes go together like peanut butter and jelly, cookies and milk, spaghetti and meatballs, Superman and Lois Lane — well, you get the idea. It is an irresistible pairing. What we don’t love is how long it takes to cook those potatoes, especially considering how quickly steak bites cook. Years ago we decided to try gnocchi instead of potatoes, and have never looked back. We are all about quick and easy weeknight meals, and this is one of our family’s absolute favorites.
