Garlic Butter Beef Bites with Potatoes

Tender beef bites and golden baby potatoes bathed in a rich garlic butter sauce, perfect for a cozy dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef stew meat
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prep the beef: Begin by cutting your beef stew meat into 1-inch cubes (if not already pre-cut). Season generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. Sear the beef: In a large skillet, melt 1/4 cup of unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches and sear each side until nicely browned, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Cook the potatoes: Once all your beef is browned, add the halved baby potatoes to the same skillet and stir for a couple of minutes until they glisten.
  4. Add garlic: Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried rosemary to the skillet. Stir and let the garlic cook for about 30 seconds.
  5. Simmer: Pour in a cup of water (or beef broth) and cover. Lower the heat to medium-low and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
  6. Finish: Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper if necessary. If desired, add the remaining 1/4 cup of butter for extra richness.
  7. Garnish: Sprinkle the fresh parsley on top, toss gently, and serve.

Notes

Serve family-style directly from the skillet for an inviting experience. Pair with a crisp green salad or crusty bread.
