Cut and season the beef: Pat beef dry, cut into cubes, season with salt and pepper, and let sit for 5 minutes.
Par-cook the potatoes: Boil halved potatoes in salted water until tender, about 8–10 minutes, then drain and let dry.
Crisp the potatoes: Heat olive oil in a skillet, add potatoes cut-side down, and cook until golden and crisp, about 4–5 minutes. Flip and cook until crisp on the other side.
Sear the beef: Melt more oil in the skillet if needed, then sear beef in batches for 1½–2 minutes per side until browned. Ensure not to overcrowd the pan.
Add garlic and deglaze: Add minced garlic to the pan and cook until fragrant, then deglaze with white wine or lemon juice.
Finish with garlic-herb butter: Reduce heat, add butter, parsley, and thyme, swirl until butter melts, then return potatoes to the pan.
Rest and serve: Remove from heat and rest for 2 minutes before serving hot, garnished with parsley.

For a lighter version, substitute beef for chicken and reduce butter. Par-cook potatoes up to 24 hours in advance for convenience.
