- 1 to 1.5 pounds of sirloin, ribeye, or New York strip steak (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- Yukon Gold, red potatoes, or small baby potatoes (cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil (for potatoes)
- 1 teaspoon of kosher salt (for potatoes)
- ½ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper (for potatoes)
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder (for potatoes)
- ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika (for potatoes)
- Fresh rosemary or thyme (a few sprigs for potatoes)
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil (for searing steak)
- Salt (for seasoning steak)
- Black pepper (for seasoning steak)
- Garlic powder (optional, for seasoning steak)
- All-purpose steak seasoning (optional, for seasoning steak)
- 2 cloves of minced garlic (for pan sauce)
- 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme or rosemary leaves (for pan sauce)
- ¼ cup of beef broth (for pan sauce, optional)
- Fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it's heating, wash and pat the potatoes dry, then cut them into roughly 1-inch pieces.
- In a large bowl, toss the cut potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika, and a few sprigs of fresh rosemary or thyme. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, then flip and continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- While the potatoes roast, pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels and season them generously with salt, black pepper, and optional garlic powder or steak rub.
- Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once shimmering, add half of the steak bites in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining steak bites, adding more oil if needed.
- For flavor boost, reduce heat to medium, add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme or rosemary leaves to the pan. Sauté for about 30 seconds, then pour in ¼ cup of beef broth and scrape up any browned bits. Let simmer for a minute until slightly reduced.
- Return all the seared steak bites to the pan with the sauce, tossing to coat. Remove from heat and serve alongside the roasted potatoes, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
