Servings: people

1 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp unsalted butter divided (½ stick)
1 lb. Yukon Gold potatoes diced into ½-inch cubes, or red-skinned or fingerling potatoes
4 cloves garlic minced
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp ground pepper
1½ lbs. sirloin steak cut into 1-inch cubes, or try beef tenderloin, NY strip steak, or stir fry meat.
freshly chopped parsley optional, for garnish

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 2 tbsp of the butter. Let the butter melt completely.
4 tbsp unsalted butter, 1 tbsp olive oil
Add the cut potatoes, garlic, rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for approximately 4 minutes without disturbing. Stir and cook an additional 3-4 minutes, or until fork tender. Remove the potatoes from the pan and set aside in a bowl.

Return the skillet to the stove and increase the heat to high. Add 2 tbsp of butter and stir to melt. Add the steak bites in a single layer and cook for 1 minute. Flip or stir the steak for another 1-2 minutes, or until desired doneness. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Add the cooked potatoes back to the skillet and toss together. Add additional salt and pepper if desired.

If potatoes are not tender (after 8 minutes) but are starting to get too brown, turn the heat to medium-low, add 2 tablespoons of warm water, cover, and cook for about 3-4 minutes until water evaporates.
Don't crowd the pan; this will cause the potatoes and steak to cook unevenly or even steam rather than sear.
