GARLIC BUTTER STEAK AND POTATOES SKILLET

—

## Instructions

### 1. Cook the Potatoes
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes, season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder, and cook for about **10–12 minutes**, stirring occasionally, until crispy and fork-tender. Remove from skillet and set aside.

### 2. Sear the Steak
Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Once hot, add the steak cubes in a single layer (you may need to work in batches). Sear for **2–3 minutes per side**, or until browned and cooked to your liking. Season with salt and pepper.

### 3. Add the Garlic Butter
Lower the heat to medium-low. Push the steak to one side of the pan and add the **butter**, **garlic**, and **optional red pepper flakes**. Let it melt and become fragrant, about **1 minute**, then toss everything together — the steak, the potatoes, all in that rich, garlicky butter sauce.

### 4. Finish and Serve
Stir in **chopped parsley**, squeeze a little **lemon juice** over the top if desired, and serve hot. This dish is perfect as-is or alongside a fresh salad, roasted veggies, or warm bread to soak up the buttery goodness.

## Pro Tips for Perfection

– **Cut potatoes small** so they cook quickly and crisp up nicely.
– **Use a cast iron skillet** for the best sear on your steak and potatoes.
– **Let the steak rest** a couple of minutes before tossing it back in with the garlic butter for maximum juiciness.
– **Switch it up**: Add mushrooms, onions, or green beans for extra color and texture.
