What cut of beef works best for Garlic Butter Beef Bites and Potatoes?

For this dish, you’ll want a tender, quick-cooking cut like sirloin, New York strip, or even beef tenderloin. Choose beef that’s well-marbled so the bites stay juicy when seared. And remember: cutting the meat into uniform cubes helps everything cook evenly and gives you that perfect one-pan steak and potatoes experience.

How do I prevent the potatoes from being undercooked in this one-pan dish?

Potatoes take longer to cook than beef, so start them in the skillet first or even par-boil them for a few minutes. Then add them to the pan so they have time to crisp up and become tender. If you add everything at once, the beef might finish too early while the potatoes are still hard.

Can I make this dish ahead for meal prep or leftovers?

Yes — this recipe is surprisingly meal-prep friendly. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. When reheating, use a hot skillet or a 350 °F oven for about 8-10 minutes to keep the beef tender and the potatoes crisp, rather than microwaving and risking sogginess.

Can I cook this recipe in an Instant Pot, air fryer or slow cooker instead of on the stovetop?

Absolutely. For example, you could brown the beef and potatoes separately and then finish in an Instant Pot or slow cooker, or you might air-fry the potatoes and beef in batches for crispiness. The key is preserving the sear on the beef and the crisp exterior on the potatoes, so these alternate methods work as long as you adapt the timing.

Instructions

Total prep and cook time: Approximately 30 minutes (10 minutes prep, 20 minutes cook time). Cut the potatoes into small cubes and toss with olive oil, salt, and paprika.

Pat the steak cubes dry, season with salt and pepper, and sear them in butter until browned on both sides.
Remove beef, lower the heat, and melt remaining butter with garlic and rosemary until fragrant.

Parboil potatoes briefly for an even softer interior.
