Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 lb gold potatoes, quartered into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 4 tablespoons ghee, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Prepare the potatoes by cutting them into consistent 1/2-inch thick pieces.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add potatoes to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and golden brown, about 12-15 minutes.
  4. Push the potatoes to the side of the skillet and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of ghee to the empty space.
  5. Add the cubed sirloin, seasoning heavily with sea salt and black pepper.
  6. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes, tossing until a deep brown crust forms.
  7. Lower the heat and add the minced garlic, rosemary, and parsley.
  8. Sauté for 60 seconds until fragrant, ensuring the ghee coats all ingredients evenly, then serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure you cut the steak against the grain to achieve the most tender texture possible.
Using a high-quality ghee is essential for the high-heat searing process to prevent burning.
Keep the potato pieces uniform in size to ensure they finish cooking at the same time as the steak.
