- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt

For the Potatoes:
- 2 cups baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp dried rosemary
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Steak
- Cut the steak into bite-sized cubes (about 1-inch pieces).
- Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 2: Cook the Potatoes
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add potatoes and season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and rosemary.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3: Cook the Steak Bites
- In the same skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over high heat.
- Add the steak bites in a single layer (work in batches if needed).
- Sear for 2 minutes per side, flipping only once to get a perfect crust.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, add 2 tbsp butter and minced garlic.
- Toss the steak bites in the garlic butter for 1-2 minutes, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 4: Combine and Serve
- Return the crispy potatoes to the skillet.
- Add the remaining 1 tbsp butter and toss everything together.
- Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Best Steak Options: Ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon work best for tenderness.
- Extra Crispy Potatoes: Parboil the potatoes for 5 minutes before frying for the crispiest texture.
- Dairy-Free Option: Substitute butter with ghee or dairy-free butter.
- Reheating Tip: Reheat in a skillet over medium heat with a little butter for the best flavor and texture.
