Ingredients

2 tablespoons ghee or butter, divided

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, diced

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon sea salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  • Prep: Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and two tablespoons of ghee to the pan.

  • Cook the potatoes: Once the ghee melts, add the diced potatoes and sprinkle the garlic, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper over them. Cook for 2-3 minutes before stirring. Stir the potatoes occasionally and cook for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and fork-tender. Remove the potatoes and any browned bits from the pan and set them aside.

  • Sear the steak: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the remaining ghee to the pan. Once melted, add the steak pieces, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for at least 2 minutes before stirring to get a good sear. Continue cooking for 1-2 more minutes until golden brown.

  • Combine: Add the cooked potatoes back into the skillet, stir to combine, and adjust seasoning to taste. Top with freshly chopped parsley and serve.

Notes

  • Potato alternatives: If Yukon gold potatoes aren’t available, you can substitute with small red potatoes or fingerling potatoes.

  • Steak alternatives: This recipe works with any tender cut of beef like strip steak, ribeye, or beef tenderloin.

  • Herb swap: Feel free to swap thyme and oregano for rosemary, basil, or fresh parsley.
