Instructions

Prepare the Potatoes:

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.

Roast the Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy, flipping the potatoes halfway through for even cooking.

Prepare the Steak Bites:

Make the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). This will be your marinade for the steak bites.

Marinate the Steak: Cut the steak into bite-sized pieces and place them in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak and toss to coat. Let the steak marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for more flavor. If you have more time, marinate the steak in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.

Sear the Steak: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated steak bites to the pan in a single layer. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness.

Garnish the Steak: Remove the steak bites from the pan and set them aside. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro or green onions.

Combine and Serve:

Assemble the Dish: Serve the roasted potatoes on a large platter or individual plates. Top with the Asian steak bites and garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired. You can drizzle extra marinade over the potatoes or serve it on the side for dipping.

Enjoy: Serve immediately while hot and crispy for a delicious, hearty meal that will satisfy your cravings.
