How to Make Skillet Sirloin Steak with Garlic Potatoes

Ingredients:

1/4 cup ghee or butter, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1 1/4 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
Freshly chopped parsley for garnish

Directions:

Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat.
Add the olive oil and two tablespoons of the ghee to the pan.
Once the ghee is melted, add the potatoes and sprinkle the garlic, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper over them.
Cook for 2-3 minutes before stirring the potatoes.
Stir the potatoes occasionally and cook until they’re golden brown and fork-tender, about 8-10 minutes.
Remove the potatoes and any browned bits from the pan and set them aside.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the remaining two tablespoons of ghee to the pan.
Once melted, add the steak pieces and season with salt and pepper.
Cook for at least 2 minutes before stirring the steak pieces.
Stir and continue to cook until the steak is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.
Add the potatoes back to the pan and stir to combine.
Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.
Top with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve and enjoy.
