Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

Ghee or butter (split into two portions)
A drizzle of olive oil
Yukon gold potatoes
Fresh garlic
Dried thyme and oregano
Sea salt and black pepper
Sirloin steak
Fresh parsley for garnish

Method

1. Get the pan ready

Place a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil along with two tablespoons of ghee and let it melt completely.

2. Crisp the potatoes

Add the diced potatoes to the hot pan. Sprinkle in the garlic, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Let them cook undisturbed for a couple of minutes before stirring. Continue cooking for 6–8 minutes, stirring about once a minute, until golden brown and fork-tender. Remove the potatoes (and any flavorful browned bits) from the skillet and set aside.

3. Sear the steak

Turn the heat up to medium-high. Add the remaining ghee. Once melted, place the steak pieces in the pan and season lightly with salt and pepper. Let them sit untouched for at least 2 minutes to develop a deep, golden crust. Stir and cook another 1–2 minutes until browned to your liking.

4. Bring it together

Return the potatoes to the skillet and toss everything together. Adjust seasoning if needed. Finish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Helpful Cooking Tips

Cut potatoes into small, evenly sized pieces for faster cooking.
A cast iron skillet gives you the best crisp and sear.
Resist stirring the steak too soon—let it form that crust first.
A splatter guard can save you cleanup time.

Storing & Freezing

Refrigerator: Keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Freezer: Cool completely, then store in a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Reheating: Warm in a skillet over medium heat with a little extra ghee for best texture. Microwave in short 15–20 second bursts if you’re in a hurry.

Serving Ideas

This dish stands strong on its own, thanks to the hearty steak and buttery potatoes. For a balanced plate, pair it with roasted asparagus, a crisp green salad, or a tray of roasted mixed vegetables for extra color and nutrients.
