FAQ

Butter Steak Bites With Garlic Herb Potatoes Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• For the sirloin steak, you can use flank or ribeye steak if youre looking for a slightly different texture and flavor.
• If baby potatoes arent available, small red potatoes or fingerlings work just fine as a substitute.
• You can swap olive oil for avocado oil when you need a similar healthy alternative in the cooking process.
• If you dont have unsalted butter, try using ghee to add a richer flavor and a higher smoke point.
• Instead of fresh garlic, a pinch of garlic powder can work if youre in a pinch and dont mind the slight change in flavor.

Pro Tips

1. Make sure you pat the steak dry with paper towels before seasoning it. This helps the meat to sear properly and develop a nice crust.
2. Don’t be afraid to stir the potatoes frequently while they’re cooking. It helps them get evenly crispy on the outside without sticking to the pan.
3. Use butter carefully because it adds a lot of flavor but can burn quickly if the pan’s too hot. Keeping an eye on it while you add garlic is key.
4. Letting the steak sit out for a few minutes before you cook can make a real difference in cooking evenly. It might seem like a small thing but trust me, it works!
