Sheet Pan Steak Bites with Potatoes and Green Beans
Juicy garlic butter steak bites roasted on one pan with crispy baby potatoes and green beans. A complete dinner in about 40 minutes and great for meal prep.
Steak and potatoes is a classic for a reason, and this version needs just one sheet pan. The potatoes get a head start until they are crisp outside and creamy inside, then the steak bites and green beans join them for the last few minutes.
A spoonful of garlic herb butter melts over everything right out of the oven, so every bite is rich and savory.
It is an easy weeknight dinner, and it portions neatly into containers for lunches through the week.

Ingredient Notes
Steak: Top sirloin is affordable, tender and holds up well in cubes. Ribeye or New York strip are richer options. Cut the steak into even 1 inch pieces.
Potatoes: Baby or small Yukon gold potatoes, halved or quartered to about 1 inch, so they cook through in time.

How to Make Sheet Pan Steak Bites with Potatoes and Green Beans
Roast the potatoes
Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). On a large rimmed sheet pan, toss the potatoes with 1 1/2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the garlic powder. Roast cut side down for 20 minutes, until golden underneath.
Prep the steak and beans
Pat the steak cubes dry and toss with 1 tablespoon oil, the smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss the green beans with the remaining oil, salt and pepper.
Add to the pan
Stir the potatoes and push them to one side. Add the green beans and spread the steak in a single layer with space between the pieces. Turn the oven to broil.
Broil
Broil on the upper middle rack for 5 to 8 minutes, turning the steak once, until browned and 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare or 140°F (60°C) for medium. Watch closely so nothing burns.
Garlic butter
Stir the melted butter, garlic, parsley and thyme together. Spoon it over the steak, potatoes and beans right on the hot pan and toss. Serve immediately.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use the largest sheet pan you have, or two pans, so everything browns instead of steaming.
- Dry steak browns faster; pat it well with paper towels.
- The USDA recommends cooking steak to at least 145°F (63°C) with a 3 minute rest. Cook to your preferred doneness.
- For meal prep, slightly undercook the steak so it does not overcook when reheated.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
| Mistake | How to fix it |
|---|---|
| Adding the steak too early | Steak bites cook in minutes; add them only after the potatoes are nearly done. |
| Crowded pan | Leave space between the pieces so they sear. |
| Burnt garlic | Add the fresh garlic butter after cooking, not before. |
Substitutions
- Top sirloin: Ribeye, New York strip or boneless chicken thighs (cook chicken to 165°F).
- Green beans: Broccoli florets or asparagus.
- Baby potatoes: Sweet potato cubes.
What to Serve With It
- Classic Greek salad
- Chicken Caesar salad
- Soft dinner rolls
- Spinach quinoa salad with feta
Storage and Reheating
Fridge: Refrigerate in airtight containers for up to 4 days.
Freezer: Freeze for up to 2 months, though the potatoes soften slightly.
Reheat: Reheat in a skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 4 to 5 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cut of steak is best for steak bites?
Top sirloin is the best balance of tenderness and price. Ribeye and New York strip are richer and more tender.
How long do steak bites take?
About 5 to 8 minutes under the broiler for 1 inch cubes, depending on how done you like them.
Can I make this in the air fryer?
Yes. Air fry the potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes, add the beans for 5 minutes, then air fry the steak bites separately for 5 to 7 minutes, shaking halfway.
Is this good for meal prep?
Yes. It keeps 4 days in the fridge. Cook the steak slightly less than you like it so it stays tender after reheating.
