Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the halved baby potatoes with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, until crispy and golden, flipping halfway through.
2. While the potatoes roast, heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sirloin steak pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and cooked to desired doneness.
3. Add minced garlic and fresh rosemary to the skillet with the steak. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
4. Remove steak from heat and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.
5. Serve the garlic butter steak bites alongside the roasted baby potatoes. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
