It’s known for its bold flavor, satisfying texture, and comforting appeal.
Ingredients
For the steak bites:
- 1 lb (450g) sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp dried parsley or fresh chopped parsley
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the potatoes:
- 4–5 medium Yukon gold or baby potatoes, cut into wedges
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Extra red pepper flakes and parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Prepare and Roast the Potatoes:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Toss potato wedges in olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
2. Cook the Steak Bites:
