Ingredients

• 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Optional: 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme)
• Juice of half a lemon
• Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
• 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary)
• Optional: 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) while you prepare the potatoes.
2. In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary. Toss until evenly coated.
3. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown and fork-tender.
4. Season the steak cubes with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Let the seasoned steak sit for about 10 minutes.
5. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
6. Add the steak cubes to the skillet in a single layer, sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked to your desired doneness.
7. In the last minute of cooking the steak, add the minced garlic to the skillet, stirring frequently. Then add the butter, parsley, thyme, and lemon juice.
8. Once the steak bites are done, pour the garlic butter sauce over them and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately with the roasted potatoes.
