- 1 tsp thyme, chopped
- 1 tsp rosemary, chopped

Instructions
- Skillet Preparation: Heat a cast iron skillet to medium-high, creating an optimal surface for flavor development and caramelization.

- Potato Resting: Transfer the herb-infused potatoes to a warm plate, preserving their crisp texture for later incorporation.
- Steak Searing: Elevate skillet heat to high, adding remaining butter to create an intense searing environment for the steak cubes.
- Steak Caramelization: Add steak pieces, allowing them to develop a rich, golden crust by searing undisturbed, then gently stirring to ensure uniform browning.

Notes
- Optimize Skillet Heat: Use a cast iron skillet for superior heat retention and flavor development, ensuring even cooking and perfect caramelization.
- Herb Infusion Technique: Crush fresh herbs between your fingers before adding to release maximum essential oils and intensify aromatic profiles.
- Searing Secrets: Allow meat to reach room temperature before cooking and avoid overcrowding the pan to achieve a perfect golden-brown crust.
- Resting Rule: Let the finished dish rest for 2-3 minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring maximum tenderness and flavor concentration.
