- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- For the Potatoes:

- For the Garlic Butter Sauce:

Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the halved baby potatoes, cut side down. Sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden brown and tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Steak:
- While the potatoes cook, season the steak cubes with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Heat olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak cubes in a single layer.
- Sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked to your desired doneness (medium-rare: 135°F, medium: 145°F). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
- Lower the heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet and let it melt.
- Stir in minced garlic and thyme, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Combine Everything:
- Return the potatoes and steak to the skillet. Toss to coat everything in the garlic butter sauce.
- Cook for 2-3 more minutes to heat through.
- Serve:
- Transfer to a serving dish or serve directly from the skillet. Garnish with chopped parsley.
Serving Suggestions
- Pair with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
