01 - 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
02 - 2 tbsp olive oil
03 - 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
04 - 1 tsp smoked paprika
05 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
06 - 1/2 tsp onion powder
07 - 1/2 tsp dried thyme
08 - 1/2 tsp dried oregano
09 - 1/2 tsp black pepper
10 - 1/2 tsp salt
11 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter
12 - 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
→ Fries
13 - 2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
14 - 2 tbsp vegetable oil
15 - 1 tsp salt
16 - 1/2 tsp paprika
17 - 1/4 tsp black pepper
# Directions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the potato fries with vegetable oil, salt, paprika, and black pepper, then spread them evenly on the baking sheet. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crisp.
02 - While the fries bake, pat the steak cubes dry using paper towels. In a large bowl, combine Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Add the steak cubes and toss to coat thoroughly.
03 - Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak bites in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Sear for 1 to 2 minutes per side until well browned and cooked to the desired doneness.
04 - Add unsalted butter to the skillet and toss the steak bites until coated and glossy. Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
05 - Serve the hot steak bites alongside the crispy fries.
