04 - 1 tsp smoked paprika
05 - 0.5 tsp garlic powder
06 - 0.5 tsp onion powder
07 - 0.5 tsp dried thyme
08 - 0.5 tsp dried oregano
09 - 0.5 tsp black pepper
10 - 0.5 tsp salt
11 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter

→ Fries
13 - 2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
14 - 2 tbsp vegetable oil
15 - 1 tsp salt
16 - 0.5 tsp paprika
17 - 0.25 tsp black pepper
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the potato fries with vegetable oil, salt, paprika, and black pepper. Spread fries evenly on the baking sheet.
02 - Bake fries for 25 to 30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crisp.
03 - Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, mix Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Toss steak cubes to coat evenly with the spice blend.
04 - Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak bites in a single layer, searing for 1 to 2 minutes per side until well browned and cooked to preferred doneness. Work in batches if necessary.
05 - Add butter to the skillet and toss steak bites until they are coated and glossy. Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
06 - Serve the hot blackened steak bites alongside the crispy baked fries.
