Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 4 petite steaks
Side Ingredient:
- 4 pounds (1.8 kilograms) baby potatoes
Seasonings and Fats:
- 6 tablespoons (90 milliliters) butter
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Italian herbs
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Garlic powder to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F, creating an ideal environment for roasting and ensuring even cooking of the steak and potatoes.
- Combine softened butter with minced garlic and finely chopped herbs, creating a fragrant and rich seasoning mixture.
- Generously season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper, allowing the meat to absorb the flavors.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat and sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side, developing a caramelized crust and locking in the juices.
- Remove steaks from the skillet and set aside on a separate plate to rest temporarily.
- In the same skillet, add seasoned potato chunks and brown them for 3-5 minutes, creating a crispy exterior.
- Carefully return the seared steaks to the skillet, nestling them among the potatoes.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, allowing the steak to reach desired doneness and potatoes to become tender.
- Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle the prepared garlic herb butter over the steak and potatoes.
- Let the dish rest for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the juices to redistribute before serving.
Notes
- Use a cast-iron skillet for the best sear and even heat distribution when cooking steaks and potatoes.
- Pat steaks completely dry before seasoning to ensure a perfect golden-brown crust and prevent steaming.
- Let steaks rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking to guarantee even cooking and maximum tenderness.
- For a gluten-free version, replace traditional butter with clarified butter or ghee and use herb-only seasonings.
