Ingredients
1.5 lbs (680 g) sirloin or NY strip steak, cut into 1–2 inch cubes
1.5 lbs (680 g) Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, diced
3 tbsp olive oil (divided)
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Optional: 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce for marinade
Instructions
Pat the steak cubes dry. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. (Optional: marinate with 1 tbsp olive oil + Worcestershire for 30 mins.)
Wash and dice potatoes into uniform pieces. Toss with 1 ½ tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika.
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes until golden and crispy.
While potatoes cook, heat remaining oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear steak bites in a single layer for 2–4 minutes per side until browned. Add butter during last minute for extra flavor.
Combine roasted potatoes with steak in the skillet or serve side-by-side. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Don’t overcrowd the skillet; the steak will steam instead of sear.
For garlic butter variation, melt 2 tbsp butter with minced garlic cloves and pour over steak bites before serving.
Potatoes can be parboiled for 5 minutes before roasting for even crispier results.
