Steak with Garlic Butter and Potatoes

Steak with Garlic Butter and Potatoes

Ingredients:

– 4 rib-eye or sirloin steaks (about 1 inch thick)

– Salt and black pepper to taste

– 2 tablespoons olive oil

– 1 pound baby potatoes, halved (or quartered if large)

– 4 tablespoons butter

– 5 cloves garlic, chopped

– 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped

– 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped

– 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

Prepare the Potatoes:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. In a large ovenproof skillet or baking sheet, toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper.

3. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden and crispy. Stir halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.

Cook the Steaks:

1. While the potatoes roast, season the steaks generously with salt and pepper.

2. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the steaks.

3. Cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare steaks (or cook to your preferred doneness). Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium.

4. Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a plate covered with foil.

Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:

1. Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same pan used for the steaks.

2. Once the butter has melted, add the chopped garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.

3. Spoon the garlic butter sauce over the resting steaks to enhance their flavor.

Combine and Serve:

1. Serve the steaks alongside the roasted potatoes.

2. Spoon garlic butter sauce from the pan onto the steaks and potatoes.

3. Garnish with fresh parsley.
