Ingredients

Units Scale

Seasoning Mix

  • 3 teaspoons salt or more to taste
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons paprika

Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds cubed steak like sirloin, 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

Garnish

  • Parsley
  • Red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the seasoning mix: In a small bowl, combine the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Divide this mixture evenly into two equal portions and set aside for later use.
  2. Make the garlic herb butter: In another small bowl, blend the softened unsalted butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, and salt until well combined. Set aside to infuse.
  3. Marinate the steak: Place the cubed steak in a large bowl and add Worcestershire sauce, optional browning sauce, and half of the seasoning mixture. Toss everything to coat the beef evenly with the marinade.
  4. Parboil and season potatoes: Boil the cubed Yukon gold potatoes in water for 5 to 6 minutes until they begin to soften. Drain and let them cool slightly. Then, toss the potatoes with the remaining seasoning mixture and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to evenly coat.
  5. Sear the steak: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Once hot, add the marinated steak cubes and sear for 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove steak from the skillet and set aside.
  6. Cook the potatoes: In the same skillet, add the seasoned parboiled potatoes and cook over medium-high heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender.
  7. Combine and finish: Return the seared steak to the skillet with the potatoes. Add the prepared garlic herb butter and toss everything together thoroughly so the steak and potatoes absorb the buttery garlic flavor.
  8. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle red pepper flakes and fresh parsley over the dish before serving to add a touch of color and heat.

Notes

  • Garnish with fresh parsley to enhance presentation and add fresh flavor.
  • Store leftover steak and potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, warm in an oiled pan over medium-low heat or in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for 8 to 10 minutes until heated through.
