Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes (High-Protein)

Juicy seared steak bites with crispy potatoes, finished in garlicky butter—big flavor, protein-forward.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 680 g (1.5 lb) sirloin steak, cut into bite-size cubes

• 700 g baby potatoes, halved

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 2 tbsp butter

• 5 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 tsp black pepper

• 1 tsp paprika

• 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary

• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1. Parboil potatoes
   Boil potatoes in salted water 8–10 minutes until just fork-tender. Drain and steam-dry 5 minutes.

2. Crisp potatoes
   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add potatoes cut-side down. Cook 8–10 minutes until deeply golden. Season with half the salt, pepper, paprika, and herbs. Remove.

3. Sear steak
   In the same hot skillet, add steak in a single layer. Sear 2–3 minutes without stirring for a crust. Flip and cook 1–2 more minutes.

4. Garlic butter finish
   Lower heat. Add butter and garlic; toss steak 30–45 seconds until fragrant.

5. Combine
   Return potatoes to the pan. Toss everything together 1 minute. Sprinkle parsley and serve.

High-Protein Tips

• Use sirloin or strip steak for a leaner, high-protein cut.

• Don’t overcrowd the pan—good sear = better flavor without extra fat.

• Add a side of plain Greek yogurt with lemon and salt as a dip for extra protein.
