Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes

Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes is a hearty, flavorful dish perfect for a comforting meal. The rich garlic butter complements the juicy steak and crispy potatoes beautifully. Here’s a step-by-step recipe:

Ingredients:

For the Steak:

  • 2 ribeye steaks (or your preferred cut, about 1-inch thick)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (or 1 tsp dried rosemary)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

For the Potatoes:

  • 4-5 medium Yukon gold or baby potatoes (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried thyme)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:

  • Boil the potatoes:
    • Place the cut potatoes in a pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and cook for about 10-12 minutes until they are just tender but not falling apart. Drain and set aside.
  • Sauté the potatoes:
    • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
    • Add the boiled potatoes and season with salt, pepper, and thyme.
    • Cook the potatoes for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
    • In the last minute, add 1 tablespoon of butter and 2 cloves of minced garlic, tossing the potatoes to coat them in the garlic butter mixture. Remove from heat and set aside.

2. Cook the Steak:

  • Prepare the steak:
    • Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
  • Sear the steak:
    • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat.
    • When the pan is hot, add the steaks and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or cook to your desired level of doneness (adjust the time for thicker steaks).
  • Add garlic butter:
    • During the last minute of cooking, add 4 tablespoons of butter, minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary to the pan.
    • Tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the steak with the melted garlic butter repeatedly for added flavor.
  • Rest the steak:
    • Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate, covered loosely with foil, for about 5 minutes to lock in the juices.

3. Bring it all together:

  • Reheat the potatoes:
    • While the steak is resting, quickly warm the potatoes if needed.
  • Serve:
    • Slice the steak and serve it alongside the crispy garlic butter potatoes. Spoon any remaining garlic butter from the pan over the steak for extra richness.
    • Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
