# Directions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 220°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the potato fries with vegetable oil, salt, paprika, and black pepper, then spread them evenly on the baking sheet. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
02 - Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, mix Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Add the steak cubes and toss to coat thoroughly.
03 - Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites in a single layer, searing for 1 to 2 minutes per side until browned and cooked to preference. Work in batches if needed.
04 - Add unsalted butter to the skillet and toss the steak bites until coated and glossy. Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
05 - Plate the hot steak bites alongside the crispy fries and serve immediately.
