- 1½ lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- 4 tablespoons olive oil (divided)

- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Prep your ingredients for a delicious and savory dish.
Directions
-
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the halved or quartered baby potatoes, seasoning them with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and fork-tender. Once done, remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
-
Season the steak cubes with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Sear the steak in a single layer (work in batches if needed) for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Avoid overcrowding the pan and don’t overcook.
-
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
-
Return the cooked potatoes to the pan and toss everything together, ensuring the potatoes are coated in the garlic and buttery sauce. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes to heat everything through.
-
Garnish with fresh parsley, serve hot, and enjoy!
