There’s never a wrong time for good ole steak and potatoes. Juicy little steak bites cooked with baby potatoes in a skillet of flavorful seasonings make one heck of a dinner with hardly any effort. 

First, we’ll start with our flavorful bourbon marinade which brings a rich umami undertone to the cubed steak while a simple blend of seasonings elevates the potatoes to crispy golden perfection. Seriously, even the picky eaters love this one. Plus the entire meal comes together in under an hour right on the stovetop.

Frequently Asked Questions & Expert Tips

Serving Suggestions

Steak and potatoes is a hearty one which means it’s filling all on its own. However, we like to add a green on the side whether that be a fresh dinner salad, roasted green beans, Brussels sprouts, or roasted asparagus.

It’s also insanely good drizzled with chimichurri. Enjoy!
