Ingredients

Scale

1 pound sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 pound baby potatoes, halved
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, smoked paprika, and dried thyme. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the halved baby potatoes to the skillet, cut side down, and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Cook the potatoes for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and reduce heat to medium-high.
Add the seasoned steak bites to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes without stirring to develop a crust, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
Add the minced garlic and butter to the skillet with the steak. Stir and cook for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant and the butter has melted.
Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet and toss everything together to combine and heat through.
Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
