2 tablespoons olive oil
# Instructions:
01 -
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and add the halved baby potatoes. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside.
02 -
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak bites in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time for your preferred doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
03 -
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
04 -
Add the cooked steak bites back to the skillet along with the boiled potatoes. Gently toss everything in the garlic butter sauce until well-coated. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through, and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley and an optional squeeze of lemon juice for brightness. Serve immediately.
# Notes:

For best results, bring the steak to room temperature before cooking and pat dry with paper towels to ensure optimal searing.
