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 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
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • parsley
  • red pepper flakes

Method
 

  1. Combine salt, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika in a bowl and split the mix into two equal parts.
  2. Blend the softened butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley until smooth and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the cubed steak with Worcestershire sauce, optional browning sauce, and half of the seasoning mix until fully coated.
  4. Boil the cubed potatoes in hot water for 5 to 6 minutes until they start to soften, then drain and let cool.
  5. Once cooled, season the potatoes with the remaining spice mix and 1 tablespoon olive oil, stirring to coat.
  6. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Sear the steak pieces for about 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until nicely browned; then remove and set aside.
  8. In the same skillet, cook the parboiled potatoes for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring now and then, until they develop a crisp golden exterior and are fork tender.
  9. Return the steak to the skillet with the potatoes, add the garlic herb butter, and toss everything together, ensuring the butter evenly coats the steak and potatoes.
  10. Finish by sprinkling with fresh parsley and a pinch of red pepper flakes before serving.

Notes

  • If preferred, use browning sauce for a richer color on the steak. Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat nicely in a skillet or microwave.
