→ Fries
13 - 2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
14 - 2 tbsp vegetable oil
15 - 1 tsp salt
16 - 1/2 tsp paprika
17 - 1/4 tsp black pepper
# Method:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Toss potato fries with vegetable oil, salt, paprika, and black pepper. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden and crisp.
03 - Pat steak cubes dry thoroughly using paper towels to ensure a good sear.
04 - Combine Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, black pepper, and salt in a large bowl. Add steak cubes and toss to coat evenly.
05 - Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
06 - Place steak bites in a single layer in the skillet; work in batches if necessary. Sear for 1 to 2 minutes per side until well browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.
07 - Add unsalted butter to the skillet and toss steak bites to coat evenly and achieve a glossy finish. Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
08 - Plate the hot steak bites alongside the crispy golden fries and serve immediately.
