Instructions
- Take your steaks and season them well with salt, pepper, and garlic powder all over. Set them aside.
- Heat olive oil in a big skillet over medium heat. Toss in diced baby potatoes and cook, stirring until golden and tender (15–20 minutes).
- Add 2 tablespoons butter, minced garlic, Italian herbs, thyme, and parsley to the potatoes. Stir to coat. Then remove potatoes and set aside.
- Increase heat to medium-high. Sear steaks in same skillet, about 3–4 minutes on each side, to your doneness preference.
- During the last minute of steak cooking, add a tablespoon butter on each steak and let melt in.
- Return potatoes to skillet, and heat through gently while mixing with steak juices and butter.
- Serve steaks topped with garlic and herb butter, alongside sautéed potatoes.
Notes
Use pre-minced garlic if you don’t have fresh. Skip peeling potatoes for a rustic dish. Freeze leftovers or turn into breakfast hash the next day.
