02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon salt
04 - 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
05 - 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika

→ Potatoes

06 - 1.5 lbs baby Yukon gold potatoes, quartered
07 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
08 - 0.5 teaspoon salt
09 - 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
10 - 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

→ Garlic Butter Sauce

11 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 - 6 cloves garlic, minced
13 - 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
14 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
15 - 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
16 - Juice of 0.5 lemon

# Steps:

01 - In a large bowl, combine steak cubes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Toss to coat evenly and set aside while preparing potatoes.
02 - Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add quartered potatoes, salt, thyme, and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and fork-tender, approximately 15-18 minutes. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
03 - Return skillet to high heat. Add marinated steak cubes in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Sear 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
04 - Reduce heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in minced garlic, rosemary, parsley, and red pepper flakes. Sauté until fragrant, approximately 1 minute.
05 - Return potatoes and steak to the skillet. Toss all ingredients to coat thoroughly in garlic butter sauce. Drizzle with lemon juice and adjust seasoning to taste.
06 - Garnish with additional fresh parsley. Serve immediately while hot.
