What’s the best steak to use for garlic butter steak bites?
Because the steak is meant to cook quickly, it’s best to choose a tender cut. I like to use sirloin, but you can also use beef tenderloin (filet mignon), New York strip steak or stir fry meat. It’s best to avoid tougher cuts like skirt and flank steak.
What are the best potatoes to use?
I like to use Yukon Gold for this recipe. They hold their shape well, but are moderately starchy so that they still get soft and fluffy in the middle. It’s best to avoid Russet potatoes as these are too starchy and can fall apart.
Waxy potatoes like reds or fingerlings, will work well in this recipe.
Serving Suggestions
The potatoes in this recipe already serve as a great side, but these garlic steak bites are also great to serve with your favorite veggies sides like green beans or asparagus. A simple accompaniment of steamed broccoli would be a perfect pairing. Here are some more side dish ideas:

Delicious!!
Looks fantastic!!
Very good and easy. Made it twice. I suggest Pre cooking the potatoe cubes in microwave to het them tender. The steak, potatoes and seasoning are great together. Will make again!
Thanks for the suggestion!
It’s delicious And didn’t take too long
Thanks for sharing, Terri!
Didn’t have a cast iron skillet so used a normal pan instead but it still worked. Easy recipe to follow and turned out well. I just added more salt and pepper to taste.
Looks great!
Great recipe! I even used smaller sized russets and they held up OK with the skin on. Had to use the extra water + 3-4 mins to get the potatoes tender. Added the garlic at this point. Delicious! Will make again.
Thanks for sharing, Chase!
This was actually really good! I was a little skeptical but once my boyfriend his mother and I sat down to eat it, it was so worth it. Definitely making this again. Muchas gracias from New Jersey!
Thanks for sharing, Kelly!
Added onions to ours, delicious.
Sounds amazing!
Made this recently. I used combo meat of filet mignon and ribeye. Very tasty and not too salty. Only thing I would change is adding garlic after potatoes are cooked because the garlic tasted a little bitter after cooking. I would add them towards end until fragrance is released otherwise, delicious!
Thanks for sharing, Valerie!
Ok I tried it and it was way too hard and I didn’t have a skillet, I used my wok, plus the potatoes took way too long, I took two pix but their not updating. Well for someone who doesn’t cook, I did give it my best.
I am sorry it didn’t work out! I hope you give it another shot!
My best friend brought me some green beans from her garden, so I put those in during the last few minutes of cooking the potatoes… sooooo good! Thanks for the great recipe 😊
What a tasty addition, Anne!
