Description
This Garlic Butter Beef and Baby Potato Skillet is a comforting dish made with tender beef stew meat, crispy baby potatoes, and a rich garlic butter sauce. The addition of smoked paprika, rosemary, thyme, and a splash of beef broth infuses the dish with savory depth, while the one-pan preparation makes it both easy and flavorful.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the beef stew meat and baby potatoes. Halve the potatoes for even cooking.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the halved potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add beef stew meat and sear for 6-8 minutes until browned. Remove the beef and set aside.
- For the garlic butter sauce, melt butter in the same skillet. Add garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, and rosemary. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Return beef and potatoes to the skillet, pour in beef broth, and stir to coat in the garlic butter sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5-7 minutes, until beef is tender and potatoes are soft. If needed, cook uncovered for a thicker sauce.
- Serve hot, garnished with parsley or additional herbs.
Notes
- For added nutrition, consider adding vegetables like carrots or green beans to the skillet.
- For a spicy kick, incorporate red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper into the sauce.
- A splash of heavy cream or sour cream can create a creamy finish.
