Ingredients
  

Seasoning mix
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 3 teaspoons salt or more as needed
Potatoes
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (peeled and diced into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 tablespoon browning sauce optional, for added color
Steak
  • 2 pounds cubed steak (such as sirloin or NY Strip)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Garlic Butter
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
Garnishes
  • to taste fresh parsley for garnish
  • to taste red pepper flakes for garnish
Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Combine the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika in a small bowl, then divide the blend equally into two portions and keep aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, blend the softened butter with the minced garlic and chopped parsley until smooth and fragrant, then set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, coat the cubed steak with Worcestershire sauce, browning sauce if using, and half of the prepared seasoning mix, tossing until the meat is well covered.
  4. Parboil the cubed potatoes in boiling water for 5–6 minutes until slightly tender, then drain and let cool.
Cooking
  1. Toss the potatoes with the remaining seasoning and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to coat evenly.
  2. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then sear the steak pieces for 5–7 minutes until browned on all sides; transfer them to a plate once done.
  3. In the same skillet, add the parboiled potatoes and cook over medium-high heat for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally until crisp and fork-tender.
  4. Return the steak to the skillet, stir in the garlic butter, and toss until everything is coated in the flavorful butter.
Serving
  1. Finish by garnishing with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before serving.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm it in a skillet over low heat until heated through, or in the microwave for quick reheating. Let the steak reach room temperature before cooking for the best sear. Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your taste; more garlic or herbs can enhance the flavor. If you want extra crunch, try broiling the potatoes for the last few minutes of cooking.
