This classic steak and potatoes recipe offers a juicy, tender steak paired with perfectly crispy roasted potatoes, making it a favorite for a hearty and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

For the steak:
4 ribeye steaks (about 6 oz each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
For the potatoes:
1 ½ lbs baby potatoes, halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Prepare the potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes until crispy and golden.
Prepare the steak: While the potatoes are roasting, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Rub the steaks with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Sear the steak: Place the steaks in the hot skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting to your preferred doneness. During the last minute, add the butter and baste the steaks by spooning the melted butter over them.
Rest the steak: Once cooked, remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain juices.
Serve: Serve the juicy steak alongside the roasted potatoes. Garnish the potatoes with chopped parsley for extra flavor.

Notes

Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the steak for a perfect sear.
You can use russet or Yukon Gold potatoes if baby potatoes are unavailable.
Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of your steak and preferred doneness.

Detailed tips:

Choosing the steak: This recipe works great with ribeye, but you can also use sirloin or filet mignon for a different texture and flavor.
Resting the steak: Always rest the steak after cooking. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy bite in every piece.
Perfect sear: To get that beautiful crust on your steak, make sure the pan is extremely hot before placing the steak in.
Season well: Seasoning both the steak and potatoes generously with salt and pepper enhances their natural flavors.
Timing: Start with the potatoes, as they take longer to cook. While they’re roasting, prepare and cook the steak to streamline the process.
Butter basting: The butter adds richness and depth to the steak’s flavor, making it even more tender and succulent.

How to store Steak and Potatoes:

In the fridge: Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheating: For the steak, reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to avoid drying it out. You can reheat the potatoes in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to retain crispiness.
In the freezer: You can freeze the steak for up to 2 months, but potatoes tend to lose their texture when frozen.

Steak and potatoes recipe variants :

Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes: Add garlic butter sauce to both the steak and the potatoes for extra flavor.
Steak Frites: Swap the roasted potatoes for French fries for a classic steak frites dish.
Grilled Steak and Potatoes: Instead of pan-searing, grill the steak and roast the potatoes on a grill for a smoky flavor.

Serving Suggestions with steak :

The potatoes in this recipe already serve as a great side, but these garlic steak bites are also great to serve with your favorite veggie sides like Pennsylvania Dutch green beans, asparagus almondine, or cheesy roasted broccoli. A chopped Caprese salad, roasted Brussels sprouts, or fried corn would also be delish!
