A Quick and Easy Steak Dinner Idea

Steak bites and Yukon gold potatoes, they go together like peanut butter and jelly, coffee and cream, and, well – meat and potatoes! But, this isn’t your average meat and potatoes meal. This meal is loaded with pops of deep and fresh flavor and the entire meal cooks up in less than 30 minutes.

All I have to say is – steak marinated in soy sauce and hot sauce!?! WHAT? But trust me, it’s so good. Add the herbed potatoes cooked in the same skillet and you’ve got a meal like nothing you’ve ever tried before!

What Are Steak Bites?

Steak bites are bite-sized pieces of cubed steak. You could use just about any type of steak for this. I really like my steak bites to be tender and juicy, so I use flank steak.

Flank steak comes from the flank of the cow, below the loin and sirloin. In your grocery store, you might find flank steak labeled London broil or jiffy steak. It’s most well known for its flavor and texture.

How to Make Steak Bites with Potatoes

  1. Marinate: In a medium sized bowl combine cubed steak, soy sauce, hot sauce, and olive oil. Set the bowl aside.
  2. Melt and heat: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and heat up 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat.
  3. Cook Potatoes: Add the potatoes to the hot oil and cook for 13 to 15 minutes, or until golden and tender. Stir frequently.
  4. Remove potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Sauce: Set the skillet back over medium heat and add the remaining butter. Allow it to melt.
  6. Add the garlic to the skillet and Italian seasoning. Stir and cook for 20 seconds, or until fragrant.
  7. Add Steak: Stir in the prepared steak cubes and cook them for 2 minutes per side, or until they’re browned.
  8. Combine: Add the potatoes back to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, or until heated through.

  10. Serve: Remove from heat.

Tips for Juicy Steak Bites

If you want to make sure your steak bites are as juicy as possible, make sure you follow these easy tips.

  • If you can’t find a flank steak, feel free to swap it for sirloin, rib eye, tenderloin, or a New York strip steak.
  • When cubing your flank steak, make sure to cut against the grain. This will make each bite of steak super tender.
  • Don’t skip the marinade. Marinating steak helps to tenderize the meat.
  • Keep a close eye once you add the steak bites. They cook quickly and you don’t want them to be overcooked.

Serving Suggestions

What I love about this meal is that it’s almost a whole meal in one skillet. All it’s missing is some green. You’ve got two options here. Cook up an easy green veggie side, like roasted green beans, grilled asparagus, or a mixed veggie medley.

Or, you could simply serve your steak bites and potatoes with a large family style side salad. A super simple and fully balanced dinner!

How to Store and Reheat Leftovers

  • Before storing your leftovers, let them come to room temperature. Then place the leftovers into an airtight container. You can then store them in your fridge for about 5 days, or your freezer for 3 months.
  • To reheat, add everything to a skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the steak and potatoes are heated through. If it’s become too dry, you can add a bit more soy sauce or a splash of beef broth.

    This steak dinner is calling my name! I can’t wait to throw this together tonight for dinner.

    1. This recipe is good, I’ve made it twice, but be aware there is no way that baby potatoes, even quartered, pan-cook in 15 mins. It’s more like 25-30 mins for the potatoes!

          I made this tonight using 1. 5 pd about 3/4″thick sirloin steak. The recipe was showing making marinade up olive oil, worshire, low sodium soy sauce which I put in gallon sz bag. Had cut up meat chucks marinating in bag while working up potatoes. Used unsalted butter and olive oil didn’t do as much potatoes as you. Used rosemary, thyme, minced garlic (didn’t have real garlic. Put potatoes in said medium heat for 7 minutes they were no where done finished off 10 minutes in air fryer. Cooked meat chucks until temp said 150 degrees and removed from heat. Said I was supposed to put the potatoes on my plate and then finish the meat and put them on a plate. I salt and peppered and potatoes it turned out good but this recipe here is different of course I just joined as a member. But I was trying to find the one before I became a member It was a bit different with using different spices and no hot sauce. The meat was great my husband loved potatoes. If you happen to run across the original recipe I used this evening can you please send me the link? I would make it again.

    1. I used red potatoes because that’s all i had on hand and they burned. I’ll try it again with yukon.

  2. It is definitely a quick and easy to make recipe. My husband and I enjoyed it, it was so tasty and full of flavor!

  3. Gosh I love an easy dinner that comes together quickly and the flavors in this recipe are so good. I loved the crispy herbed potatoes!

  4. I made this a few nights ago and it was so delicious! My husband loves it. I will definitely be making this again!

    Made this last night. Beyond delicious! We loved it. I used a small filet mignon steak and also added a little sliced onion with the potatoes. Cut down on the hot sauce a bit. All in all an excellent recipe we will repeat often.
