Servings:

Add the oil to a skillet and cook over medium heat. Add potato wedges and sprinkle with garlic salt and cook for about 10 minutes on one side, or until potatoes are golden brown. Flip potatoes and cook an additional 10 minutes.
While potatoes are cooking, dry steaks with paper towels and season with salt.
Remove potatoes from skillet and transfer to a plate.
Wipe out the skillet and cook on high heat. Add the steak whole or cut into strips and cook for about 4-6 minutes, occasionally tossing the meat while it cooks.
Add butter and minced garlic to the skillet and continue cooking the meat, making sure to baste the steak with the butter and garlic as it cooks.
Continue cooking until the meat is no longer pink or until internal temperature of the meat is around 130 degrees.
If you cooked the steak whole, let the meat rest for 5 minutes before cutting into strips or cubes.
Place the meat pieces over the potatoes and season with more salt and lemon juice, as needed. Drizzle with extra garlic butter from skillet and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

Recipe Tips.

Patting the steak dry helps create a better crust when searing.
Cook the steak in batches if needed so the meat sears instead of steaming.
High heat helps lock in flavor and creates browned edges.
Slicing across the grain helps make steak more tender.
Allow the steak to rest on the counter for 10-15 minutes before cutting and cooking. Meat that is the same temperature throughout will cook at a more even rate.

Store. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
