  2. Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Season them with kosher salt and black pepper. Toss the halved Yukon Gold potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and set aside in a separate bowl.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak in a single layer and sear for 1.5–2 minutes per side until deeply browned. Remove and set aside. Repeat in batches if needed.
  4. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil and the potatoes. Roast for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender.
  5. Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and rosemary, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant. Deglaze with 1/4 cup water or beef broth, scraping up browned bits.
  6. Return steak to the skillet. Add butter and swirl until melted and golden. Cook for 2–3 minutes, tossing occasionally, until steak reaches desired doneness.
  7. Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

STORAGE: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet with a splash of broth to restore moisture.
MAKE AHEAD: You can prep the steak and potatoes up to 2 hours in advance. Keep refrigerated and bring to room temperature before cooking.
SUBSTITUTIONS: Use top round for a leaner cut, or sweet potatoes for a lower-glycemic option. Olive oil can replace butter for dairy-free.
PRO TIPS: Dry the steak thoroughly before searing. Avoid overcrowding the pan—batch cook if necessary. Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness (135°F for medium).
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve straight from the skillet with a side of green beans, arugula salad, or crusty bread for soaking up the garlic butter sauce.
