On a cutting board, cut the Ribeye steak into 1-inch cubes, then season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Wash the Yukon gold potatoes and then peel them if desired, on a cutting board, dice the potatoes into 3/4-inch cubes.
Then heat 1 Tbsp oil in a large skillet, preferably a cast iron or heavy bottomed pan that will allow the potatoes to get a nice sear.
Add the potatoes to the warm oil and then cook them undisturbed until they are browned. By using a cast iron pan to sear the potatoes, they get soft, cooked and a nice brown color on them, however, if you do not have a cast iron pan that is fine, just any heavy-bottomed pan will work.
To the potatoes, add the 1 Tbsp thyme, 1/4 tsp pepper and salt and stir to combine and then cook for 5-7 minutes.
When the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the pan onto a plate and then set aside.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add 1 Tbsp oil if needed and then add the cubed steak to the pan, cooking undisturbed for 45 seconds. By searing the steak bites, you give the steak a nice color and flavor, and thus bringing out the tenderness of the steak fibers.
Flip the steak and then cook an additional 30 seconds, just make sure to not continuously stir them but allow them to sear.
Add 1/2 Tbsp butter and 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic and cook until the garlic is fragrant, then stir to combine.
Add the potatoes back to the pan and stir together with the steak bites.
Lower the heat and add 1 Tbsp butter and 1 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce and then stir to combine and coat the steak and potatoes.
Finally, sprinkle with parsley and serve!
Notes
Yukon potatoes, or a gold potato, are recommended for this recipe as they can become tender quickly while cooking.
