1 1/2 lb (650g) flank steak, sliced against the grain
1 1/2 lb (650g) baby yellow potatoes, quartered
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons butter, divided
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped
Salt and fresh cracked pepper
Crushed red chili pepper flakes, optional
The Marinade
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon hot sauce (I used Sriracha)
Fresh cracked pepper
The Instructions
You can optionally precook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 8 minutes before browning them.
This will accelerate cooking time in the skillet and ensure a nice golden crust on the potatoes. (I
did this the first time I prepared this dish and have never looked back.)
In a large bowl, combine the steak strips with soy sauce, olive oil, pepper, and hot sauce. Set aside
to marinate while you cook potatoes.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, mix 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter. When butter is
melted, add potatoes. Cook for about 4 minutes, stir and cook an additional 4-5 minutes until potatoes are
golden and fork tender. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Keep the same skillet over medium heat and add remaining 2 tablespoons butter, garlic, red chili pepper flakes,
and fresh herbs. Lay the steak strips in one layer in the skillet, keeping the drained marinade for later. Cook
on each side for 1 minute each, until nicely browned – adjust timing depending on how you like your steak.
Right before the steak is done, you can stir in the reserved marinade if you like, and cook for one minute. Add
the potatoes back to the pan and heat through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with more crushed chili pepper, fresh herbs, and a sprinkle of
parmesan cheese over the potatoes if you like. Enjoy!
