Quick Steak Bites and Potatoes

Instructions:

1. Heat 1 tbsp (15ml) of avocado oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add the quartered potatoes in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper. Cook undisturbed for 5–7 minutes until a crust forms, then toss and cook for another 5 minutes until golden brown and fork-tender. Remove potatoes from the pan and set aside.
3. Increase heat to high. Add the remaining 2 tbsp (30ml) of avocado oil.
4. Season the cubed sirloin steak evenly with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp garlic powder.
5. Once the oil is shimmering, add the seasoned steak bites in a single layer. Sear for 2 minutes without moving them, then flip and sear for another 1–2 minutes for medium-rare.
6. Reduce heat to medium. Return the cooked potatoes to the pan with the steak.
7. Add the butter, minced garlic, and thyme. Stir constantly for 60–90 seconds until the butter is foamy and the garlic is fragrant.
8. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley.
