Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb beef steak tips tender and juicy
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter for that rich, silky sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • salt to season perfectly
  • pepper to season perfectly
  • 1 lb baby potatoes halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil helps crisp the potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme earthy herbal note
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary aromatic and woodsy
  • fresh parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • Large skillet or sauté pan
  • Sheet pan or roasting pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Sharp Knife and Cutting Board
  • Citrus juicer or reamer
  • Spatula or tongs

Method
 

Prepare the Herb Potatoes
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper until they’re well-coated.
  2. Spread them out in a single layer on a sheet pan. Roast for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy on the edges.
Sear the Steak Tips
  1. While the potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt until it starts to foam.
  2. Season the steak tips generously with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  3. Sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until a beautiful crust forms and they are cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside to rest.
Make the Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  2. Pour in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and add the lemon zest. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Combine and Serve
  1. Return the steak tips to the skillet, tossing them gently in the lemon garlic butter sauce to coat. Let them heat through for another minute.
  2. Plate the steak tips alongside the crispy herb potatoes, spooning any extra lemon garlic butter sauce over the top. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.

Notes

  • Marinate steak tips briefly in lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil to boost flavor.
  • Use fresh herbs instead of dried for a more vibrant herbaceous taste.
  • Ensure potatoes are cut evenly for uniform roasting and crispiness.
  • Avoid overcrowding the skillet to get a nice sear on the steak tips.
  • Store leftover components separately and reheat gently to maintain texture and flavor.
