Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Potatoes and Oregano

YES it’s been a while since my last post 🙂 The past few weeks have been crazy busy with my son’s 5th Birthday, relatives coming home to Manila from the US, Birthdays and other events to attend to and the list goes on 🙂

And now I’m back to share one of my experiment success recipes that I’ve been making for the past few months now as it became a regular family request. This recipe is absolutely restaurant worthy and I promise it’s NOT as difficult as it looks! You can definitely make it yourself! Beef tenderloin that melts in your mouth, herb potatoes that’s simply addicting to eat and a touch of oregano just amplifies the flavor -I mean c’mon what’s not to like! 🙂

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 kilo beef tenderloin diced
  • 1 large potato cut french fries style
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 white onion (half – minced & other half cut in thick slices)
  • 1 cup sliced mushroom
  • 3-4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 butter
  • sugar to taste
  • 1 tsp oregano herb

for the beef marinade:

  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • half tbsp fish sauce (optional)

Let’s start cooking:

  1. Marinate tenderloin cubes by seasoning with a little salt, generous amount of pepper, add oyster sauce and just a little fish sauce (you can skip the fish sauce if you don’t have this available). Mix well and set aside in the fridge.
  2. Start by frying the sliced potatoes on high heat. remove from oil when it’s already lightly crispy and set aside.
  3. On the same pan on low heat, fry garlic and immediately remove from oil just before it’s almost brown. Set aside to add later.
  4. Again on the same pan on medium-high heat, put butter and add minced onions, tenderloin bites and oregano herbs. Cook thoroughly and sprinkle a bit of sugar (I recommend brown sugar) just to balance the flavor.
  5. Later on, add mushrooms and other half of white onions (onions are added at the end to keep it crispy and sweet) and cook for just about 1-2 minutes. Turn off the heat and add your fried potatoes and fried garlic.
  6. Top it with parsley – serve and enjoy! 🙂
