Method
 

Preparation
  1. Chop the garlic and herbs, and cut the potatoes in half.
Cooking Potatoes
  1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the halved baby Yukon gold potatoes, seasoning them with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown on one side, about 7-10 minutes, then flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes until tender and golden all around. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Searing Steak
  1. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil, increase heat to medium-high, and add the chopped sirloin steak. Sear until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Combining Ingredients
  1. Reduce heat to medium, add minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and onion powder. Cook for about a minute until fragrant.
  2. Pour in Worcestershire sauce and beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pan. Allow to simmer for a couple of minutes to thicken.
  3. Add unsalted butter and gently stir until melted.
Serving
  1. Return cooked potatoes to the skillet, squeezing fresh lemon juice over everything. Stir well to combine, allowing potatoes to soak in flavors for a minute. Garnish with parsley before serving.

Notes

Allow the steak to come to room temperature before cooking for even cooking. Pat dry with a paper towel before seasoning to achieve a nice sear. Use a heavy skillet for best heat retention. Don't crowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
