Ingredients
  

Seasoning Mix
  • 3 teaspoons salt or more to taste
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
Meat and Vegetables
  • 2 pounds cubed steak, like sirloin or NY Strip
  • 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed into small bite-sized pieces
Sauces and Oils
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Browning sauce (optional, for color)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Herbs
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Parsley (for garnish)
  • Red pepper flakes (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. 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.
  2. In another bowl, combine softened butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley until well mixed. Set aside for later use.
  3. 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.
  4. Boil the peeled and cubed Yukon gold potatoes in salted water for 5 to 6 minutes until just tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
  5. Once cooled, toss the potatoes with the remaining half of the seasoning blend and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to coat evenly.
Cooking
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and fresh parsley before serving for added color and a hint of spice.

Notes

For a complete meal, serve with a side of steamed green beans or a mixed green salad. A drizzle of balsamic glaze or a dollop of sour cream can elevate the flavors even further. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat gently in a skillet.
