Fresh Garlic: Always opt for fresh cloves rather than pre-minced; nothing beats that pungent aroma when you sauté them.
Unsalted Butter: Using unsalted butter allows you to control the saltiness; plus, it enhances the richness of the dish.
Olive Oil: A splash of good-quality olive oil adds depth to the flavors and helps sear the steak perfectly.
Fresh Parsley: Chopped parsley not only provides freshness but also makes your dish visually inviting.
Salt and Pepper: Simple seasonings that elevate all your ingredients; don’t skip out on these essentials!

How to Make Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes
Start by prepping your ingredients: Wash baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half to ensure even cooking. Mince fresh garlic until fragrant—this will elevate your dish significantly.
Cook the Potatoes First: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and let it shimmer before tossing in the halved potatoes. Cook until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are fork-tender.
Add Garlic Butter Goodness: Once potatoes are done, push them to one side of the skillet. Add unsalted butter along with minced garlic. Cook until fragrant, filling your kitchen with irresistible aromas—about 1-2 minutes should do it.
Sear the Steak Bites: Season bite-sized steak pieces generously with salt and pepper before adding them to the skillet. Sear on high heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they reach your desired doneness—medium rare is always a crowd-pleaser!
Toss Everything Together: Once cooked to perfection, combine everything in the skillet by gently tossing steak bites with potatoes in that luscious garlic butter sauce for an additional minute or two.
Add Final Touches: Remove from heat and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over your Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes before serving. Enjoy this culinary masterpiece hot for maximum flavor impact!
