Boil the Potatoes: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add quartered baby potatoes, and cook for 12-15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and cool for 5 minutes.
Smash the Potatoes: Gently smash each potato with a fork to create rough surfaces, keeping their shape. Set aside on a plate.
Prepare the Steak Bites: Pat the steak pieces dry, season with salt and pepper.
Heat the Skillet: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Sear the Steak Bites: Cook steak bites undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, flip, and continue for another 1-2 minutes until medium-rare. Remove and tent with foil.
Crisp the Potatoes: In the same skillet, add remaining oil and place smashed potatoes cut-side down, cooking for 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy.
Flip the Potatoes: Flip potatoes and cook for another 3-4 minutes until both sides are crispy.
Add Butter and Garlic: Lower heat, add 1 tablespoon butter and minced garlic, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Mix in the Herbs: Sprinkle dried thyme over potatoes and stir to combine.
Combine the Steak Bites and Potatoes: Return steak to the skillet and toss gently for 1-2 minutes until heated through.

Use room temperature steak for better searing; ensure potatoes are gently smashed to maintain texture.
