Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Cook the Potatoes
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes, season with salt, pepper, and paprika, and cook until golden and fork-tender (about 15 minutes), stirring occasionally. Remove from skillet and set aside.
2. Sear the Steak
Season steak strips with salt and pepper. In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed and sear the steak until browned on all sides but still juicy inside (3–5 minutes). Remove from the skillet.
3. Make the Garlic Butter
Reduce heat to medium. Melt butter in the skillet, then stir in minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Let the garlic become fragrant without burning.
4. Combine Everything
Return the steak and potatoes to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic butter until coated and warmed through.
5. Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot.
