06 - 1/2 tsp onion powder
07 - 1/2 tsp dried thyme
08 - 1/2 tsp dried oregano

→ 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 the potato fries with vegetable oil, salt, paprika, and black pepper. Arrange evenly on the baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, turning once halfway through, until crisp and golden.
03 - Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels to ensure proper searing.
04 - Combine Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, black pepper, and salt in a bowl. Add steak cubes and toss until evenly coated.
05 - Warm olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
06 - Add steak cubes in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Sear each side for 1 to 2 minutes until a deep brown crust forms and desired doneness is reached.
07 - Stir in unsalted butter, tossing steak bites to coat and develop a glossy finish.
08 - Remove skillet from heat. Sprinkle chopped parsley over steak bites and serve immediately with the baked fries.
