Ingredients
Scale
Spice Mix
- 3 teaspoons salt or more to taste
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons paprika
Meat & Potatoes
- 2 pounds cubed steak, like sirloin or 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
For Garnish
- Parsley
- Red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Prepare the seasoning blend: In a small bowl, mix the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Divide the mix evenly into two portions and set aside.
- Make the garlic herb butter: In another bowl, combine softened butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley until well mixed. Set aside for later use.
- Season the steak: In a large bowl, toss the cubed steak with Worcestershire sauce, optional browning sauce, and half the seasoning blend until the beef is evenly coated.
- Parboil the potatoes: Boil the peeled and cubed Yukon gold potatoes in salted water for 5 to 6 minutes until just tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
- Season the potatoes: Once cooled, toss the potatoes with the remaining half of the seasoning blend and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to coat evenly.
- Sear the steak: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak cubes and sear for 5 to 7 minutes, turning until browned on all sides. Remove steak and set aside.
- Cook the potatoes: In the same skillet, add the seasoned potatoes and cook over medium-high heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fork-tender.
- Combine and finish: Return the steak to the skillet with the potatoes. Stir in the garlic herb butter, tossing everything together to coat the ingredients in buttery garlic flavor.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and fresh parsley before serving for added color and a hint of spice.
