A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring juicy steak cubes and crispy baby potatoes coated in a flavorful garlic butter sauce, perfect for weeknight meals with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ pounds (680g) sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1½ pounds (680g) baby potatoes, halved or quartered (Yukon gold or red potatoes recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or ½ teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh chopped parsley
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Juice of half a lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line the sheet pan with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on one side of the sheet pan. Roast for 15 minutes.
  3. While potatoes roast, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add minced garlic, thyme, smoked paprika, and lemon juice. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in parsley.
  4. Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels, then toss with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper in the mixing bowl.
  5. After potatoes have roasted 15 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and stir the potatoes. Push them to one side and arrange steak cubes on the other side in a single layer.
  6. Brush or drizzle half of the garlic butter sauce over the steak and potatoes, coating everything evenly.
  7. Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes, or until steak reaches desired doneness (135°F / 57°C for medium-rare). Flip steak and potatoes halfway through cooking.
  8. Remove the pan from the oven. Drizzle remaining garlic butter sauce over everything. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat steak dry before cooking for better sear. Cut potatoes uniformly for even roasting. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Use a meat thermometer to check steak doneness. Rest steak after cooking to keep it juicy. Simmer garlic gently to avoid bitterness. Broil potatoes for 2-3 minutes at the end for extra crispiness if desired.
