• Roasted garlic (½ bulb, optional but recommended)

Step-by-Step Instructions

           Prepare the Steak Bites 

• Trim any excess fat from the steak.

• Cut into large bite-sized pieces. Slice with the grain first, then rotate and slice against the grain to ensure tenderness.

          Cook the Potatoes 

• Place a large pot of cold water on the stove and add the halved potatoes.

• Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over high heat.

• Cook for 15 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

          Cook the Steak Bites

• Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tbsp grapeseed oil.

• Add the steak bites in batches (do not overcrowd the pan).

• Season with salt and cracked black pepper. Let the steak cook for 30 seconds without stirring to form a crust.

• Stir and cook for about 2½ minutes, leaving it slightly rare. It will continue to cook off the heat.

• Remove and repeat with remaining batches.

          Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

• In the same pan, add 2 tbsp unsalted butter and let it melt.

• Add grated garlic and stir for 1 minute until fragrant.

• Return the steak bites and their resting juices to the pan.

• Stir everything together, coating the steak with garlic butter. Cook for another minute, then remove from heat.

          Season the Potatoes

• In a large bowl, toss the cooked potatoes with 2 tbsp melted butter.

• Add dill, thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper.

• If using, squeeze in ½ bulb of roasted garlic and mix gently.

          Serve & Store for Meal Prep

• Divide everything into 5 meal prep containers (750ml each).

• Drizzle with any extra steak juices for extra flavor.

• Add a spoonful of sriracha mayo or your favorite hot sauce on top.

          Meal Prep & Storage Tips

• Fridge: Store in airtight containers for up to 4 days.

• Freezer: Keeps well for up to 4 months.

• Reheating: Microwave for 2-3 minutes or reheat the steak in a pan for the best texture.
