Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Sea salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
Smoked Turkey Bacon
- 4–5 strips smoked turkey bacon, sliced into small strips
Potatoes
- 1 lb waxy potatoes, washed and cut into bite-sized chunks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Sea salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 3 tablespoons plant-based butter
- 3 cloves garlic, freshly minced
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
Garnish
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or thyme, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and cut waxy potatoes into bite-sized chunks. Toss them in olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes or until golden and crispy, turning halfway through for even crust.
- Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: While potatoes roast, slice smoked turkey bacon into small strips and cook in a hot skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set on a paper towel to drain excess fat.
- Sear the Steak Bites: Pat steak bites dry and season with sea salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in the same skillet used for bacon over high heat. Add steak bites and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned but still juicy. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: Reduce heat to medium and add plant-based butter to the skillet. Stir in freshly minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) and apple cider vinegar (natural), stirring well to combine.
- Combine Everything: Return steak bites and smoked turkey bacon to the skillet. Toss gently in the garlic butter sauce until fully coated. Add roasted potatoes to the pan and mix to coat the potatoes with buttery sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley or thyme over the dish for color and fresh aroma. Serve immediately while hot to enjoy the perfect balance of flavors and textures.
Notes
- Choose cuts of steak with good marbling to ensure juiciness and flavor.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when searing to maintain a good sear and prevent steaming; cook in batches if needed.
- Pat steak bites thoroughly dry before cooking to achieve better browning.
- For extra sauce thickness, gently whisk in a small pinch of natural gelling agent mixed with water.
- Allow potatoes to cool slightly before mixing in the sauce to help maintain crispiness.
- Finish the dish with fresh herbs to add vibrant flavor and appealing color.
