# Instructions:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss potato fries with vegetable oil, salt, paprika, and black pepper. Spread evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crisp.
02 - Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels to ensure proper searing.
03 - In a large bowl, combine Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Add steak cubes and toss to coat evenly.

05 - Add unsalted butter to the skillet and toss steak bites until coated and glossy. Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
06 - Serve the hot steak bites alongside the crispy baked fries.
