1. Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels and season them generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Set the seasoned steak aside while you prepare the potatoes.

2. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and 2 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter has melted, add the diced potatoes to the pan. Season with Italian seasoning, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender. Remove the potatoes from the pan and set them aside.

3. Increase the heat to high and add the remaining 2 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the seasoned steak cubes in a single layer and sear for 1 minute without stirring. Flip the steak and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the steak is golden brown and cooked to your desired doneness.

4. Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the steak and toss everything together to coat the potatoes and steak in the delicious garlic butter sauce. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
