Instructions

Cook the Potatoes:
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the halved or quartered baby potatoes, seasoning with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and fork-tender. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Cook the Steak Bites:
Season the steak cubes with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs. In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Sear the steak in a single layer (do this in batches if necessary) for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Avoid overcooking.
Combine Potatoes and Steak:
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the remaining butter and garlic to the pan and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Return the cooked potatoes to the pan and toss everything together until well combined.
Final Cook:
Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes to heat everything through. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

For Extra Flavor: Feel free to add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar when tossing the steak and potatoes together.
Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Sear the steak in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding, ensuring each cube gets a nice sear.
