Instructions
It only takes a few simple steps to make this easy, delicious recipe.
Step 1: Prep
Let the steak come to room temperature while prepping the rest of the ingredients.
Combine garlic powder, coriander, minced onion, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and ancho chili powder in a small bowl, then divide the mixture into two bowls.
Then, roughly chop the parsley, rosemary, and garlic. Combine them and then divide the mixture into two bowls.
Finally, slice the onions ¼-inch thick.
Step 2: Prepare the Steak
Brush the steaks with a tablespoon of olive oil and season with one of the bowls of seasoning. Then, cut the steaks into 1-inch cubes. Add them to a large mixing bowl and toss with half the parsley, rosemary, and garlic mixture.
Step 3: Prepare the Potatoes
Cut the baby potatoes into quarters and add them to a large mixing bowl with the onions. Add olive oil and the remaining parsley, rosemary, and garlic and the remaining half of the seasonings. Toss to coat.
Step 4: Cook the Potatoes
Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Then add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan along with the bowl of potatoes, onions, and seasonings. Top with one sprig of thyme and 3 tablespoons of butter cut into slices, then, cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
Step 5: Cook the Steak
Push the potatoes and onions to the outside edge of the pan and add the steak to the center of the pan. Cook the steak for about two minutes per side, then stir to combine.
Step 6: Simmer
Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the remaining butter slices, soy sauce, and thyme. Cover and cook for five minutes. Enjoy!
