Ingredients

Instructions

  • Combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, cayenne, black pepper and 2 teaspoons of the salt into a small bowl and stir to combine.
    1 tablespoon Garlic powder, 1 tablespoon Onion powder, 1 tablespoon Paprika, 1 teaspoon Cumin, ½ teaspoon Cayenne pepper, 3 teaspoon Salt, 1 teaspoon Black pepper
  • In a medium bowl add the steak tips, 2 tablespoon of the vegetable oil, and half of the spice mixture, and stir to combine. Set aside and allow to marinate for a minimum of 15 minutes, up to an hour.
    1.5 lb Beef sirloin tip steak
  • While the beef is marinating, peel and cube the potatoes. Sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and set in a shallow bowl or deep plate like a pie plate, and spread them out a bit.
    1 lb Potatoes
  • Microwave potatoes on high for 4 minutes. Gently stir, and microwave for another 2-4 minutes, until potatoes are just fork tender (known as par-cooked). Set aside.
  • Heat a deep skillet on medium high heat, and add just a bit of neutral cooking oil. Add steak tips and cook 2-3 minutes on each side, till seared but not cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate.
    4 tablespoon Neutral oil such as Canola
  • Stir in the other half of the spice mix to the potatoes and toss to combine and coat. Heat remaining vegetable oil in pan on medium heat. Add potatoes, minced garlic and 2 tablespoon of the butter, and cook for about 10 minutes till easily pierced with a fork, stirring often.
    4 tablespoon Butter, 4 Garlic cloves
  • Add steak to pan with potatoes, and remaining 2 tablespoon of butter, and cook till heated through, about 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately.

Notes

You can substitute top sirloin for beef sirloin tip steak
When cooking the potatoes in the microwave, make sure to gently stir them in between cooking, as if you stir them too much, too much of the starch will be released and the potatoes will get sticky. Also, because microwave powers vary so much, the total cooking time to just fork tender may vary between 4 minutes and 8 minutes. That is why I suggest starting with a 4 minute cook, then add 1-2 minutes and check, so as to not overcook.
