#### Instructions
1. **Prep the Potatoes:** In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and tender. Remove and set aside.
2. **Sear the Steak:** Season steak pieces generously with salt and pepper. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter and increase heat to high. Sear steak for 2–3 minutes per side or until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove and set aside.
3. **Make the Garlic Butter:** Lower the heat to medium. Add the last tablespoon of butter and the minced garlic to the skillet. Stir frequently for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
4. **Bring It Together:** Return the potatoes and steak to the skillet. Toss everything together so the garlic butter coats each bite. Add fresh herbs and optional red pepper flakes.
5. **Serve and Enjoy:** Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. Pair with a crisp salad or steamed veggies for a complete meal.

* **Let the steak rest** before cooking to ensure even browning and tenderness.
* **Cut steak and potatoes into uniform pieces** for even cooking.
