Helpful Tips

• Moisture is the biggest obstacle to a perfect sear; always pat your cubed steak with paper towels until bone dry to ensure a beautiful deep brown crust develops quickly.
• Avoid the temptation to overcrowd your skillet; cooking the steak in smaller batches prevents the meat from steaming in its own juices and guarantees that delicious caramelized finish.
• For those who enjoy a more robust flavor profile, incorporate a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a pinch of red chili flakes into the garlic butter during the final minute of cooking.
• If you prefer a higher smoke point, swapping the olive oil for avocado or grapeseed oil allows you to use even higher heat without the oil breaking down, resulting in an even crispier sear.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400F and toss the quartered potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, and half of the rosemary and thyme on a baking sheet.
2. Roast the potatoes for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
3. While the potatoes roast, pat the steak cubes completely dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
4. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking.
5. Sear the steak bites in a single layer for 2-3 minutes per side without crowding the pan, working in batches if necessary.
6. Reduce the heat to low, add the butter, minced garlic, and the remaining herbs to the skillet, and toss the steak bites in the melting garlic butter for 1 minute.
7. Remove from heat, season with a pinch of smoked paprika, and serve immediately alongside the crispy potatoes.

Variations & Serving Ideas

Plate the steak bites alongside the golden potatoes for a rustic, inviting presentation. I recommend adding a side of peppery arugula dressed in a simple balsamic glaze or lemon vinaigrette to cut through the decadence of the garlic butter. If you have leftovers, keep them in an airtight container for up to 48 hours and gently reheat them on the stovetop to maintain their texture.
