- 2 large russet potatoes: Cut into fries that will crisp up beautifully.

- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder: For depth of flavor.
How to Make Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Crispy Seasoned Fries
- First things first, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will get your fries nice and crispy.
- In a large bowl, toss the cut russet potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure they are evenly coated. Spread the fries out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Pop the fries in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Don’t forget to flip them halfway through for that golden brown perfection.
- While the fries are baking away, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Season your sirloin steak bites with salt and pepper.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Once it melts, add the steak bites in a single layer. Cook them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked to your liking.
- Reduce the heat to low, then add the remaining butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté everything together for an additional minute until the garlic is fragrant.
- Remove the steak bites from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
- Serve your delicious garlic butter steak bites alongside the crispy seasoned fries. Dig in and enjoy every bite!
Substitutions & Additions
- You can swap sirloin steak for tenderloin or even chicken if you prefer.
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the fries.
- Try adding cheese on top of the fries for a loaded version.
Tips for Success
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet with fries; they need space to get crispy.
- For perfectly cooked steak, let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- If you’re prepping ahead, cut the potatoes and soak them in water to remove excess starch, which helps them crisp up.
How to Store Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Crispy Seasoned Fries
If you have leftovers (which I doubt!), store the steak bites and fries in an airtight container in the fridge. They will last for about 2-3 days. To reheat, pop them in the oven for a few minutes to regain that crispy texture.
