Ingredients

• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 pound beef sirloin (or ribeye), diced
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and dice them into 1/2-inch cubes. Pat dry with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 3

Once the butter has melted, add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook the potatoes for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp on the outside. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 4

In the same skillet, raise the heat to medium-high and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 5

Add the diced beef to the skillet and season with 1 teaspoon of salt, smoked paprika, cumin, and thyme. Sear the beef for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on the outside. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside with the potatoes.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and add the diced yellow onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables become tender.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 8

Return the cooked potatoes and beef to the skillet. Toss everything together and adjust seasoning with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Turn off the heat and sprinkle sliced green onions over the top, if desired.

Step 10

Serve the Cattleman's Skillet hot, straight from the pan. Enjoy!
