→ Steak Bites
01 - 1.5 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
04 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
08 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
09 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
10 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
11 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
→ Fries
13 - 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
14 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
15 - 1 teaspoon salt
16 - 1/2 teaspoon paprika
17 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a mixing bowl, toss potato fries with vegetable oil, salt, paprika, and black pepper. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, turning once halfway through, until fries are crisp and golden.
03 - While fries bake, pat steak cubes dry thoroughly with paper towels.
04 - Combine Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt in a large bowl. Add steak pieces and toss to coat evenly with the spice blend.
05 - Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Arrange steak bites in a single layer and sear for 1 to 2 minutes per side until deeply browned and cooked to preferred doneness. Work in batches if necessary.
06 - Add unsalted butter to the hot skillet and toss the steak bites until coated and glossy.
07 - Remove steak bites from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
08 - Plate steak bites hot alongside oven-baked fries and serve immediately.
