Instructions
Step 1: Cut your potatoes into even-sized fries and soak them in cold water for 15 minutes to remove excess starch.
Step 2: Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and paprika.
Step 3: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 4: Working in batches, sear the steak bites for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Set aside on a plate.
Step 5: In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 6: Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss to coat with the garlic butter sauce. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Step 7: Meanwhile, fry your potatoes in a separate pot or deep fryer at 350°F until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 8: Plate the fries first, top with garlic butter steak bites, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Storage and Reheating Tips
Store leftover steak bites and fries in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The separation prevents the fries from becoming soggy.
To reheat the steak bites, warm them gently in a skillet over medium heat with a touch of butter to restore that garlic flavor.
For the fries, reheat in a 375°F oven for about 8-10 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as this will make them soggy.
For best results, enjoy this dish fresh right from the stove while everything is still warm and crispy.
