Cook the potatoes: Place the seasoned potatoes in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet (such as cast iron). Add 1/4 cup of water, cover the skillet, and cook over medium-high heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Remove the lid, allowing any remaining water to evaporate.

Brown the potatoes: Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the skillet with the tender potatoes. Increase the heat to high and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.

Prepare the steak: While the potatoes are cooking, pat the cubed sirloin steak dry with paper towels. In a medium bowl, toss the steak cubes with 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until evenly coated.

Sear the steak: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the same skillet (or a separate clean skillet) over high heat until shimmering. Add the seasoned steak cubes in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until a nice crust forms and desired doneness is reached. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
⏱️ 7 min

Reserve pan drippings: Carefully pour the rendered steak juices and pan drippings from the skillet into a heatproof bowl. Measure out 3 tablespoons of these drippings and set aside for the sauce.

Make the Steak Ranch Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, chili crisp, red hot sauce, freshly squeezed lemon juice, dried chives, and the reserved 3 tablespoons of steak pan drippings. Whisk until all ingredients are well combined and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
⏱️ 5 min

Combine and serve: Return the seared steak cubes to the skillet with the browned potatoes. Toss gently to combine. Serve the buttery steak and potato bites hot, with the Steak Ranch Sauce on the side for dipping.
