Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for grilling)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved or quartered if large
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cowboy Butter: In a small mixing bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, parsley, thyme, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly and set aside at room temperature.
  2. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  3. Season the steak bites by tossing the cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Cook the baby potatoes: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and rosemary if using. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  5. Grill the steak bites for 3-4 minutes per side, brushing generously with the cowboy butter as they cook. Use tongs to turn gently.
  6. Remove steak bites from heat and let rest for 5 minutes to lock in juices.
  7. Serve steak bites alongside crispy baby potatoes, spooning any leftover cowboy butter over the top.

Notes

Pat potatoes dry before roasting for extra crispiness. Brush cowboy butter on steak bites while cooking to build flavor layers. Let steak rest after cooking to keep it juicy. For dairy-free, substitute butter with ghee or plant-based butter. For low-carb, swap baby potatoes with cauliflower florets.
