# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss fries with vegetable oil, salt, paprika, and black pepper. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping once midway, until golden and crisp.
02 - Pat steak cubes dry thoroughly using paper towels to remove excess moisture.
03 - In a bowl, combine Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Toss steak cubes in this spice blend until evenly coated.
04 - Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak cubes in a single layer and sear for 1 to 2 minutes per side until browned and cooked to preference. Work in batches if necessary.
05 - Add unsalted butter to the skillet and toss steak bites to coat evenly and develop a glossy finish. Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
06 - Plate the steak bites alongside the crispy fries and serve immediately.
