Lazy garlic butter steak and potatoes

1 and 1/2 pounds of steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
1 and 1/2 pounds of baby yellow potatoes, quartered
1 tablespoon of olive oil
4 tablespoons of butter
4 cloves of minced garlic
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Fresh chopped parsley

Get a large skillet heating on the stove over medium heat and pour in the olive oil. Toss in your quartered potatoes, season them with a good pinch of salt and pepper, and let them cook until they are fork-tender and beautifully browned on the outside, then scoop them out onto a plate. Keep the skillet nice and hot, drop in your seasoned steak cubes, and let them sear for a couple of minutes on each side until they get a great crust. Turn the burner down to low, toss the butter and minced garlic right into the pan with the meat, and let it bubble together for about a minute until the garlic smells fantastic. Dump the warm potatoes back into the skillet, toss everything around so the steak and potatoes are completely coated in that rich garlic butter sauce, and finish it off with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

This is such an incredibly easy lazy dinner to throw together on a busy weeknight, and the whole family agreed it is an absolute keeper. The kids absolutely devoured every single bite tonight, but I always make sure to cook a large enough batch that there are still plenty of leftovers for my lunch tomorrow.

Ultimate garlic butter chicken and potato skillet

A pound and a half of chicken breasts chopped into bite-sized pieces
A bag of baby yellow potatoes chopped in half
A splash of olive oil
Half a stick of butter
A heaping spoonful of minced garlic
A sprinkle of dried Italian herbs
Salt and cracked black pepper

Heat up a little olive oil in a large skillet and toss in your halved potatoes with some salt and pepper. Let them fry until they are deeply golden brown and super crispy on the outside, then scoop them out onto a plate. Turn the heat up to medium-high and drop in your seasoned chicken bites, letting them sit undisturbed for a minute or two to get a gorgeous dark sear. Once the chicken is mostly cooked through, turn the heat down to medium and toss the butter, minced garlic, and Italian herbs straight into the pan. Dump those crispy potatoes back in and stir everything around continuously as the butter melts, letting that bubbling, fragrant sauce completely glaze every single piece of chicken and potato.

It is such a simple, last-minute meal to throw together that the whole family absolutely devours. I have literally made this garlic butter recipe three times this week, but making a massive batch guarantees the kids are happy and I have plenty of leftovers to take for my lunch tomorrow!
