Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Potatoes
- 1 lb Yukon gold or red potatoes, washed and cut into small cubes
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Garlic Butter (natural) Sauce
- 3 tbsp plant-based butter (plant-based)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- Fresh parsley or thyme, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and cut the potatoes into small, evenly sized cubes. Parboil them in salted water until just tender, then drain and pat dry thoroughly to remove excess moisture, ensuring crispiness during cooking.
- Cook the Potatoes: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes in a single layer and cook, stirring occasionally, until all sides turn golden brown and crispy. Season with salt and black pepper during cooking. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
- Sear the Steak Bites: In the same skillet, increase the heat to high. Add a drizzle of olive oil and the steak bites. Sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until they form a nice crust but are still tender inside. Season with salt and black pepper. Add apple cider vinegar and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) to enhance flavor and tenderize the meat.
- Make Garlic Butter (natural) Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium. Add plant-based butter (plant-based), minced garlic, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) to the pan. Stir continuously, allowing the garlic to infuse the butter and create a fragrant sauce. Add a touch of apple cider vinegar to brighten the overall flavor.
- Combine Everything: Return the crispy potatoes to the skillet and toss them together with the steak bites in the garlic butter (natural) sauce. Stir well to coat every piece with the savory sauce. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley or thyme on top before serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature steak for even cooking and better searing.
- Do not overcrowd the pan; cook steak bites in batches if necessary to avoid steaming.
- Pat potatoes completely dry before frying to ensure maximum crispiness.
- Fresh garlic is preferred for a stronger, more aromatic butter (natural) sauce.
- Add fresh herbs at the end to preserve their bright flavor and vibrant color.
