Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large filet mignon steaks, about 1.5 lbs total
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary
- 2 heaping tablespoons of beef tallow
- 5 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
Instructions
- Cut the steaks into 1-2 inch pieces, trying to make them similar in size so that they cook evenly in the skillet.
- Transfer the steak cubes into a large bowl. Pour over olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, thyme and rosemary. Toss to coat, covering each piece of the steak with the mixture. Allow to sit at room temperature when cooking the potatoes.
- In the skillet over medium high heat, pour in the beef tallow and allow it to heat up for a moment. Transfer the cubed potatoes into the skillet, trying to keep them in an even layer in the pan. Allow to sauté until golden brown (4-6 minutes), then flip and cover for a few minutes. Uncover, and stir every few minutes until crispy on the outsides with a soft center. Note: It took about 13 minutes total for mine to cook, but it will depend on size of potatoes and heat of the skillet.
- Transfer the potatoes to a paper towel lined plate and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Add the steak bites into the empty pan over medium high heat and cook for 2-3 minutes (for well done 4 minutes), then flip. Add in the butter to one side of the pan and toss in the garlic. Cook the steak for another 2-4 minutes until the desired temperature (see guide below in post). Note: I cooked the steak bites about 2-3 minutes on each side for a medium pink center.
- Serve the steak beside the potatoes and make sure to spoon some of the extra garlic butter from the pan over the steak bites. Enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure the potatoes are pretty dry (dab with paper towels if needed) before adding them into the hot beef tallow.
- You want to keep a higher heat on both the potatoes and steak bites, about medium high on the stovetop. If you notice a lot of popping of grease, drop it down a bit.
- Allow the steak to sit on the countertop in the marinade when the potatoes are cooking. It's better to have the steak closer to room temperature versus adding right from the fridge.
