Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon browning sauce optional, for enhanced color
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 pounds cubed steak sirloin or New York Strip recommended
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and diced into bite-sized chunks
  • 1 teaspoon salt for garlic butter
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 teaspoons salt plus additional to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • Red pepper flakes for garnish
  • Parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Combine salt, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika in a small mixing bowl, then divide this blend equally into two separate portions. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, thoroughly mix the softened butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley to create a flavorful compound butter. Set aside.
  • Place the cubed steak into a large bowl and drizzle with Worcestershire sauce and optional browning sauce. Add one half of the spice blend and toss until the meat is uniformly coated.
  • Boil the cubed potatoes in salted water for 5–6 minutes until they are just beginning to soften. Drain and allow them to cool slightly. Once cooled, season the potatoes with the remaining half of the spice mixture and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir to coat evenly.
  • Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak cubes and sear for 5 to 7 minutes until evenly browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add the pre-cooked potatoes and sauté over medium-high heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are crisped and fork-tender.
  • Return the steak to the pan with the potatoes. Add the prepared garlic herb butter and stir thoroughly, allowing the mixture to coat all components generously.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and a pinch of red pepper flakes before serving.

Notes

The browning sauce is optional but recommended for a deeper color and slightly more robust flavor. Adjust salt levels according to taste preferences.
