Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If using a cast-iron skillet for cooking steak, place it in the oven to preheat.
2. In a medium bowl, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, rosemary, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.
3. Roast potatoes for 25-30 minutes, until tender and crispy.
4. While potatoes roast, combine steak cubes with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Marinate for at least 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
5. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat (or remove from oven if preheated).
6. Add steak bites in a single layer (cook in batches if needed) and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned.
7. Optional: Reduce heat to medium, add butter, and spoon melted garlic-butter over steak for the last 30 seconds.
8. Remove skillet from heat. Serve steak bites alongside roasted potatoes, or toss together briefly in the skillet.
9. Garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over medium-low heat with a splash of oil or butter, or in the oven at 300°F (150°C) covered loosely with foil.
