Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 500g tender steak cubes
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Potatoes
- 500g small waxy potatoes or fingerling potatoes, halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 3 tbsp plant-based butter
- 3 cloves garlic, freshly minced
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tsp natural gelling agent dissolved in 1 tbsp water
- Fresh parsley or thyme, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: Cut steak into even, bite-sized cubes to ensure uniform cooking. Wash and halve potatoes, then pat dry thoroughly to maximize crispness when cooking.
- Cook the Crispy Potatoes: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place potatoes cut-side down and cook until golden and crispy, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper, then transfer to a plate while you cook the steak.
- Sear the Steak Bites: Add plant-based butter to the skillet and melt. Add steak bites in batches to avoid overcrowding, cooking each piece until a brown crust develops. Season with salt, black pepper, and a splash of apple cider vinegar to enhance flavor depth.
- Create the Garlic Butter Sauce: Lower the heat and add minced garlic and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce to the skillet. Stir for a couple of minutes until fragrant. Mix in the natural gelling agent dissolved in water to lightly thicken the sauce without overpowering.
- Combine and Finish: Return crispy potatoes to the skillet and toss gently in the garlic butter sauce. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley or thyme and immediately remove from heat to preserve tenderness and freshness.
Notes
- Pat steak and potatoes completely dry before cooking for best sear and crisp texture.
- Cook steak in batches to maintain heat and achieve a perfect crust on each piece.
- Use medium-high heat for crispy potatoes and juicy steak without burning.
- Add garlic after searing steak to prevent bitterness and get optimal flavor.
- Let steak bites rest briefly after cooking to retain juices and tenderness.
