1️⃣ Cook the Potatoes:
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Add olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter, letting the butter melt completely.
Add diced potatoes, garlic, rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Cook without stirring for 4 minutes to get a good sear, then stir and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until fork-tender.
Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
2️⃣ Sear the Steak:
Return the skillet to the stove and increase heat to high.
Add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and melt.
Add steak bites in a single layer and cook for 1 minute without stirring.
Flip or stir the steak and cook for another 1-2 minutes until desired doneness.
Remove from heat.
3️⃣ Combine and Serve:
Add the cooked potatoes back to the skillet and toss together with the steak.
Add additional salt and pepper if needed.
Top with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve hot and enjoy!
🌟 Pro Tips:
🔥 Best Meat Choices: Sirloin is great, but you can also use beef tenderloin, New York strip, or stir fry meat.
🥔 Potato Swaps: You can use red-skinned or fingerling potatoes instead of Yukon Gold. Avoid Russet potatoes as they may not hold their shape well.
🍳 Cooking Tip: Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure the steak and potatoes sear properly instead of steaming.
