# Ingredient List:
→ Steak Bites
01 - 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
02 - 2 tbsp olive oil
03 - 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
04 - 1 tsp smoked paprika
05 - 0.5 tsp garlic powder
06 - 0.5 tsp onion powder
07 - 0.5 tsp dried thyme
08 - 0.5 tsp dried oregano
09 - 0.5 tsp black pepper
10 - 0.5 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 - 0.5 tsp paprika
17 - 0.25 tsp black pepper
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the potato fries with vegetable oil, salt, paprika, and black pepper. Spread evenly on the baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, turning once halfway, until golden and crisp.
02 - While fries bake, pat steak cubes dry using paper towels. In a large bowl, combine Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt. Add the steak cubes and toss thoroughly to coat.
03 - Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place steak bites in a single layer, working in batches if necessary, and sear for 1 to 2 minutes per side until well browned and cooked to preferred doneness.
04 - Add unsalted butter to the skillet and toss steak bites until evenly coated and glossy. Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
05 - Plate the hot steak bites alongside the crispy baked fries and serve immediately.
