Ingredients

3 teaspoons salt (or more to taste)
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
2 teaspoons paprika
2 pounds cubed steak (sirloin or NY Strip)
2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon browning sauce (optional, for color)
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
Extra parsley for garnish
Red pepper flakes for garnish

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Divide the seasoning mixture into two equal portions and set aside.
In another bowl, mix the softened butter with the minced garlic and chopped parsley until fully combined. Set aside.
Add the cubed steak to a large bowl. Pour in the Worcestershire sauce and browning sauce if using. Sprinkle in half of the seasoning mixture and toss until the steak is evenly coated.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and parboil the diced potatoes for 5 to 6 minutes until slightly tender. Drain well and allow them to cool slightly. Toss the potatoes with the remaining seasoning mixture and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and sear for 5 to 7 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the potatoes and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fork-tender.
Return the steak to the skillet. Add the garlic herb butter and toss everything together until coated in the buttery sauce.
Garnish with parsley and red pepper flakes before serving.

Notes

Parboiling the potatoes helps them cook faster and develop a crispy golden exterior.
Browning sauce is optional but adds deeper color and flavor to the steak.
For extra heat, increase the red pepper flakes.
Use a cast iron skillet for the best sear on the steak.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure proper browning.
