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:

1. Choosing the steak: This recipe works great with ribeye, but you can also use sirloin or filet mignon for a different texture and flavor.
2. Resting the steak: Always rest the steak after cooking. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy bite in every piece.
3. Perfect sear: To get that beautiful crust on your steak, make sure the pan is extremely hot before placing the steak in.
4. Season well: Seasoning both the steak and potatoes generously with salt and pepper enhances their natural flavors.
5. Timing: Start with the potatoes, as they take longer to cook. While they’re roasting, prepare and cook the steak to streamline the process.
6. 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!
