Ingredients

  • 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, diced
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep the Potatoes: Boil diced potatoes in salted water for 5–7 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. Cook the Steak: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak cubes in a single layer, searing 2–3 minutes per side until browned but still juicy. Remove steak and set aside.
  3. Cook the Potatoes: In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil and butter. Sauté potatoes until golden and crisp, about 8–10 minutes.
  4. Add Garlic: Stir in minced garlic and cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Combine Steak & Potatoes: Return steak to the skillet and toss everything in the garlic butter until well coated. Heat for another 1–2 minutes.
