Ingredients
- ¼ cup ghee or butter, divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb Yukon gold potatoes, cut into ½ inch cubes
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more to taste
- 1 ¼ lb sirloin steak, cut into ½ inch cubes
Instructions
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat and add olive oil and two tablespoons of ghee.
- Once the ghee melts, add the potatoes and sprinkle with garlic, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes before stirring.
- Continue cooking until golden brown and fork-tender, about 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Remove the potatoes from the skillet, leaving any browned bits behind.
- Increase heat to medium-high and add remaining ghee. Once melted, add steak cubes and season with salt and pepper. Sear for about 2 minutes before stirring.
- Cook until steak is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Return potatoes to the pan and stir to combine.
- Adjust seasoning as needed, then top with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot.
Notes
For crispy potatoes, don’t overcrowd the pan. Let steak sit at room temperature for even cooking.
