Garlic Butter Skillet Steak Bites and Potatoes

Garlic Butter Skillet Steak Bites and Potatoes

Quick and easy skillet steak in a tasty garlic and browned butter sauce with crispy potato wedges!

Although I enjoy digging into a juicy steak, it’s also nice to slice it up into bite sized pieces and to quickly sear them in a skillet! This skillet steak bites meal is so quick and easy to make! It takes less than 30 minutes in total and with less than 6 ingredients it could not be simpler. The seasoning for this steak is a simple butter and garlic sauce, which is almost magical, especially when combined with the medium rare seared steak bites! I usually like to have a side with my meal and to keep things in one skillet I roast some potato wedges until golden, brown and crispy in the same skillet to make it a meal! This is the perfect light meal for busy weeknights!

      I guess it’s up to the cook!
      lol
      2 or 3 cloves, chopped, would be a good starting point.

    Do you add the potatoes back into the skillet with the cooked steak after the garlic & red pepper flakes are added? Or do you serve them separately? Thank you!
