Ingredients
- 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye), cut into bite-sized pieces

- Salt and pepper, to taste

Start by boiling the potatoes in a pot of salted water. Cook them until they are fork-tender. Once done, drain the water and set the potatoes aside.

In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the bite-sized pieces of steak and season with salt and pepper. Sear the steak until it is nicely browned and cooked to your liking. Once cooked, remove the steak from the skillet.

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter along with the minced garlic. Sauté them for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant. Return the cooked steak to the skillet and toss it to coat in the garlic butter.
