Instructions

Prepare the Potatoes:
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Once the butter has melted, add the diced potatoes. Season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Cook for about 4 minutes without stirring to allow a crust to form. Then, stir and cook for an additional 4 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Steak Bites:
- In the same skillet, increase the heat to high. Add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Once the butter has melted, add the steak bites in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Season with salt and pepper.
- Let the steak sear for 1 minute without stirring, then stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set them aside.
Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce:
- Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Once melted, add the minced garlic, dried thyme, rosemary, and oregano. Sauté for about 1 minute, or until the garlic becomes fragrant.
Combine Steak and Potatoes:
- Return the cooked steak bites and potatoes to the skillet, tossing them to coat in the garlic butter sauce. Let them warm through for about 1-2 minutes.
Serve:
- Transfer the steak bites and potatoes to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For a quicker alternative, you can cook the potatoes in an air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they are crispy and golden.

Feel free to customize the herbs used in this recipe to your preference. Fresh herbs can also be used in place of dried ones for a more vibrant flavor.
