A comforting one-pan meal featuring juicy beef, crispy golden potatoes, and a rich garlic butter sauce that’s perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) sirloin or ground beef
  • 1 pound (450g) baby potatoes, halved
  • 4 tablespoons (56g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: A pinch of red chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Mince the garlic and mix it with softened butter, thyme, and parsley in a small bowl. Set aside.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes, cut side down, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and fork-tender. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the ground beef or sliced sirloin. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes if using. Cook for 7-10 minutes until browned and caramelized. Drain excess grease if needed.
  4. Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the beef, mixing gently.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the garlic butter mixture. Let it melt and coat everything in the skillet. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld together.
  6. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, add fresh rosemary or spinach at the end. If potatoes aren’t browning, increase the heat for the last minute or two.
