Directions
Prepare the Potatoes:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the diced potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the potatoes in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
Prepare the Steak Bites:
While the potatoes are roasting, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the steak cubes with salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme.
Add the steak bites to the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Once the steak is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Combine the Dish:
Return the steak bites to the skillet with the garlic butter and toss to coat evenly.

FAQs
How do I make sure the steak stays tender?
I recommend not overcooking the steak and letting it rest after searing to ensure it stays juicy and tender.

Fresh potatoes will give the best texture, but frozen potatoes can work too. Just be sure to adjust the roasting time.
