03 - 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
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
→ 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 oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss potato fries with vegetable oil, salt, paprika, and black pepper. Spread evenly on the baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crisp.
02 - Pat steak cubes dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture.
03 - Combine Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, black pepper, and salt in a bowl. Add steak cubes and toss thoroughly to coat.
04 - 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 each side for 1 to 2 minutes until well browned and cooked to preferred doneness.
05 - Add butter to the skillet and toss steak bites until coated and glossy. Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
06 - Plate the hot steak bites alongside the crispy fries and serve immediately.
