Ingredients

  • 2 pounds steak, cut into bite-sized cubes (sirloin or New York strip)
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 3 teaspoons salt, divided
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon browning sauce (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt (for garlic butter)
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish
  • Red pepper flakes, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, and 2 teaspoons of salt. Divide the seasoning in half.
  2. In another bowl, combine softened butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, and 1 teaspoon salt. Mix until smooth and set aside.
  3. Place steak cubes in a large bowl. Add Worcestershire sauce, optional browning sauce, and half the seasoning mix. Toss to coat and set aside.
  4. Bring a pot of salted water to boil. Parboil the cubed potatoes for 5–6 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and let steam dry. Toss with remaining seasoning and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  5. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sear steak cubes in a single layer for 5–7 minutes, turning to brown all sides. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  6. In the same skillet, add potatoes and cook over medium-high heat for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp.
  7. Return steak to the skillet and add garlic butter. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
  8. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley and red pepper flakes. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use cast iron for the best sear and crispy edges.
  • Parboiling potatoes ensures they cook through without burning in the skillet.
  • Add mushrooms or bell peppers with the potatoes for extra veggies.
  • Omit red pepper flakes for a milder dish.
