Ingredients
  

1 pound flank steak, trimmed and sliced thinly against the grain

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon salt

4 medium red potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup beef broth

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Season the Steak: In a mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced flank steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and salt. Toss well to ensure each piece is thoroughly coated in the seasonings. Allow the steak to marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients to enhance the flavor.

    Cook the Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the cubed red potatoes to the skillet. Cook for approximately 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork-tender and develop a golden-brown crisp on the edges.

      Add Onions & Garlic: Incorporate the diced onion and minced garlic into the skillet with the cooked potatoes. Sauté the mixture for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions become translucent and fragrant, infusing the dish with delicious aromatics.

        Brown the Steak: Push the cooked potatoes and onions to one side of the skillet, creating an open space in the center. Raise the heat to medium-high and add the marinated steak in one layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the steak is nicely browned and reaches your preferred doneness—aim for medium-rare for the best texture.

          Deglaze the Skillet: With the steak browned, pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet; these add great flavor to the sauce. Stir everything together, bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, and allow it to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, letting the flavors meld together and the sauce thicken slightly.

            Serve: Once cooked through and the sauce has reduced, remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant color and a fresh touch. Serve immediately, enjoying the hearty combination of peppered steak and rustic potatoes!
