What’s the best steak to use for garlic butter steak and potatoes?
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:
- Hawaiian Rolls
- Baked Macaroni and Cheese

I’m glad i found this recipe thank you so very much.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Heri!
This was very easy to make and my husband loved it. He’s picky if the potatoes aren’t completely cooked so I made sure to cook those a little longer and with a cover on it for a few minutes. The rest was super easy and delicious. We used very lean venison chunks instead of a steak and it turned out great. So glad I found this recipe.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Followed the recipe to the letter and somehow everything was simultaneously uncooked and burnt. Garbage.
I’m sorry this recipe didn’t work out as planned, Bob! It sounds like your skillet may have been too hot, causing the meat to burn before it cooked all the way through!
i also seasoned the meat with the same spices as potatoes before cooking the beef.
Thank you for sharing your experience and modifications!
this was delicious i cooked for my bf and 3 friends
My husbands new weeknight fave. I served with a salad and naan bread and it felt like a holiday! Delicious!
So glad he loved it! Serving this up with naan sounds delicious!
I had no garlic cloves so I used garlic powder. I added some cut up peppers and onion to the potatoes on the pan. I also added just a tiny bit of HP sauce as it was all I had to the beef chunks when it was almost cooked. It tasted amazing. Glad I found this recipe. Very good supper :-)
Looks amazing, Dave! Thanks so much for sharing!
