Slice potatoes thin before cooking.

Since potatoes take longer to cook, it is important to cut your fingerling potatoes to small bite sized slices.

This will help the potatoes cook faster and crisp up more.

Use high heat.

Steak responds best to fast cooking with a high temperature.

Cook in batches.

For the best results, we like to cook the potatoes first to crispy .

When the potatoes have softened and crisped up, remove to rest, covered with foil on baking sheets . Add bite sized steak chunks to pan and sear on high heat.

O nce the steak has browned add mushrooms, salt and pepper to pan and toss in olive oil.

As soon as the mushrooms have started to brown, add potatoes back to pan and mix.

How To Cut Steak into Steak Bites

For this recipe to give the best tender and good steak flavor, it's important to cut your steak into small 1″ bites. It cooks faster and doesnt dry out this way!

Kitchen notes

Trim off the excess fat from the meat, then cut sirloin steak into strips that are less than 1-inch wide. Keep the shape and size of the steak cubes uniform so they can cook evenly at the same time.

If you see any more large chunks of fat, gristle or long silvery membrane, remove them from sirloin steak before cooking for best texture and taste.

What Temperature To Cook Steak Bites To

What temperature to cook steak to is a hotly contested subject. Your personal preferences will determine whether you'd like your steak bites cooked to medium rare, medium, done, or well done.

No matter how you prefer your steak, this recipe is easy to get the temperature you love, in one pan!

For Best results, we like our steak bites cooked to medium rare seared on the outside and a touch red in the middle.

A medium rare steak bite will cook in about 4 minutes if you're using high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Rare steak will be soft to the touch, almost “jello” like.

Medium rare steak will have a bit firmer texture when pressed, but still has some give.

Medium steak will be much firmer to the touch and have reduced slightly in size.

Well done steak will be much firmer to touch, and will have reduced in size.
