Ingredients
  

Seasoning Mix
  • 3 teaspoons salt or more to taste
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
Main Components
  • 2 pounds cubed steak like sirloin, NY Strip
  • 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes peeled and cubed into small bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Browning sauce optional, for color
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
Garlic Butter
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Garnish
  • 1 parsley
  • 1 red pepper flakes

Equipment

  • Small bowl
  • Large bowl
  • Large skillet

Method
 

  1. Mix the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika in a small bowl. Divide this mixture evenly into two equal portions and set one portion aside.
  2. In another small bowl, mix the softened butter with the minced garlic and fresh herbs until they combine well. Set this garlic herb butter aside.
  3. Combine the cubed beef in a large bowl with the Worcestershire sauce, browning sauce (if you are using it), and half of the spice mixture. Toss until the beef is fully coated.
  4. Parboil the diced potatoes in boiling water for 5 to 6 minutes until they start to soften slightly. Drain the potatoes and set them aside. Once they cool, season them with the remaining half of the seasoning mixture and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss to coat them evenly.
  5. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 5 to 7 minutes until browned on all sides. Move the steak to a plate and set it aside.
  6. Add the parboiled potatoes to the same skillet and cook over medium-high heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring sometimes, until the potatoes are golden and tender when pierced with a fork.
  7. Return the steak to the skillet with the potatoes. Stir in the garlic herb butter. Toss everything together so the steak and potatoes absorb the butter. Garnish with red pepper flakes and parsley before serving.

Notes

Store any leftover steak bites and potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in an oiled pan over medium-low heat or in an oven preheated to 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes until they are warm.
