Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon thyme, chopped or dried
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano, chopped or dried
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (divided, plus more to taste)
Steak
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 1/4 pound ribeye steak, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Potatoes: Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil followed by the cubed Yukon Gold potatoes.
- Stir and Cook: Stir the potatoes after 2-3 minutes, then continue cooking them until they become golden brown, about 8-10 minutes total. Stir frequently to prevent sticking or burning.
- Season Potatoes: After 8 minutes, add the minced garlic, thyme, oregano, and half a teaspoon of kosher salt. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender and fragrant.
- Remove Potatoes: Once cooked, remove the potatoes and any browned bits from the skillet and place them in a bowl. Set aside.
- Sear the Steak: Increase the skillet heat to medium-high and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil along with 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt completely.
- Add Steak Bites: Place the cubed ribeye steak into the skillet. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or more to taste. Let the steak cook undisturbed for at least 2 minutes to achieve a good sear.
- Cook Steak Evenly: Stir the steak bites and continue cooking for 1-2 more minutes until they are golden brown and seared on all sides.
- Combine and Finish: Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the steak. Stir well to combine and cook together for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Garnish and Serve: Taste and add any additional salt if necessary. Garnish with finely chopped parsley and serve immediately for a warm, flavorful meal.
