Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • Large bowl
  • paper towels
  • Large cast-iron skillet (or heavy-bottomed pan)
  • Spoon
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cups

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  3. Spread potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  4. Roast potatoes for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned, flipping halfway through.
  5. While potatoes are roasting, pat the steak bites dry with paper towels.
  6. Season steak generously with salt and pepper.
  7. Heat remaining 2 tbsp olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet (or heavy-bottomed pan) over high heat until smoking hot.
  8. Add steak bites in a single layer (work in batches to avoid overcrowding).
  9. Sear steak for 2-3 minutes per side, until deeply browned.
  10. Reduce heat to medium.
  11. Add butter and minced garlic to the skillet.
  12. As the butter melts, tilt the pan and spoon the garlic butter over the steak bites.
  13. Add thyme and red pepper flakes (if using).
  14. Add the roasted potatoes to the skillet with the steak bites.
  15. Toss everything together to coat in the garlic butter sauce.
  16. Garnish with fresh parsley.
  17. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, ensure the skillet is very hot before adding the steak. Patting the steak dry is crucial for a good sear. Don't overcrowd the pan; cook the steak in batches if necessary. Adding the garlic towards the end prevents it from burning. Red pepper flakes can be omitted for a milder flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
