Marinating

Marinating the steak bites is an important step in this recipe that shouldn’t be skipped. The marinade helps to infuse the meat with flavor and tenderize it, resulting in juicy and delicious steak bites. If you have the time, it’s best to marinate the steak for the full 8 hours to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat. This will give you the best possible flavor and texture. However, if you’re short on time, even a one-hour marinade can make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.

Serving Suggestions

These steak bites and potatoes are the perfect main dish and can be served on their own. You could also pair them with a fresh green salad for a complete meal. Add a drizzle of sriracha or a side of garlic bread for an extra kick of flavor.

Don’t overcrowd the skillet when cooking the steak bites to ensure they get evenly browned.

Total Time 1 hour 40 minutes

Ingredients

1 pound beef sirloin steak or beef tenderloin
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 pounds potatoes cubed into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic crushed
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)

Instructions

Cut the steak into bite-sized pieces and remove any excess fat or sinew. Place the steak bites in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag or a shallow bowl for marinating.
Add lemon juice, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bag or bowl with the steak bites. Toss to coat, cover or seal, and refrigerate for 1 to 8 hours.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes or until fork-tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Using tongs, add half of the marinated steak to the skillet, leaving the excess marinade behind. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the steak bites are seared and browned. Remove from skillet and set aside. Cook the remaining half of the steak, being careful not to overcrowd the meat.
Return the previously cooked steak to the skillet. Add butter and crushed garlic to the skillet with the steak. Toast the garlic for 1 minute, then add the softened cooked potatoes. Sauté for 3 to 5 minutes until the potato cubes are slightly browned.
Serve hot with grated Parmesan cheese for sprinkling (optional).
