• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt (to taste)
• Pepper (to taste)
• Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the potatoes: Start by washing and cutting your potatoes into bite-sized pieces. This allows for even cooking and perfect tenderness.
2. Cook the potatoes: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, tossing to coat. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown and tender.
3. Prepare the steak: While the potatoes cook, season your steak with salt and pepper on both sides. For extra flavor, let it sit for about 5 minutes before cooking.

6. Combine everything: Once the steak is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice it against the grain and then return it to the skillet, mixing it with the potatoes and garlic.

• Substitutions: Feel free to swap out the steak for a Halal-friendly cut or use chicken for a different flavor profile. Ensure your butter is also Halal-certified.
• Timing: Cooking the potatoes until they’re golden brown ensures they crisp up nicely. When searing steak, remember to let it rest to retain the juices.
• Common mistakes: Avoid overcrowding the skillet when cooking the potatoes. If the skillet is too crowded, they won’t get that crisp texture we all love!
