- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika optional
For the Potatoes:

- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning
For the Garlic Butter Sauce:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves minced

Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the potatoes, season with salt, pepper, and dried herbs, and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and fork-tender. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Cook the Steak Bites:
- Season the steak pieces with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Sear the steak bites in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Don’t overcrowd the pan. Remove and set aside.
Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
- Reduce heat to low. Add butter to the same skillet and melt. Stir in minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Combine Everything:
- Return the cooked steak bites and potatoes to the skillet. Toss to coat in the garlic butter sauce. Heat through for 1–2 minutes.
Serve:
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot. Enjoy with a fresh salad or crusty bread if desired.
