- Spatula
- Paper towels
- Cutting board
- Knife
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Flank Steak, Sirloin, or Ribeye, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold or Red Potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Rosemary, chopped optional
- ¼ cup Honey
- ¼ cup Soy Sauce low sodium preferred
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
- ¼ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes optional
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Seeds for garnish, optional
- 2 tablespoons Chopped Green Onions for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, toss the steak cubes and potato cubes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and rosemary (if using). Make sure everything is evenly coated.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet (or any large skillet) over medium-high heat. Make sure the skillet is hot before adding the steak and potatoes.
- Add the steak and potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the skillet, as this will steam the ingredients instead of searing them. You may need to work in batches.
- Sear the steak and potatoes for about 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and the potatoes are starting to soften.
- While the steak and potatoes are searing, prepare the honey garlic sauce.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water until smooth.
- Once the steak and potatoes are browned, pour the honey garlic sauce over them.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer, then stir in the cornstarch slurry.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened and the steak and potatoes are coated in a glossy glaze.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions (if using).
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Honey Garlic Steak And Potato Skillet!
Notes
Don't overcrowd the skillet; work in batches if necessary. Use high heat for a good sear. Adjust cooking time based on steak and potato cube size. For extra flavor, let the steak rest before cutting. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Add veggies like bell peppers or broccoli for variation. Make it spicy with cayenne pepper or hot sauce. A squeeze of lemon juice adds a bright, zesty flavor. Stir in sour cream or Greek yogurt for a creamy twist.
