Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes Skillet

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes:
    • In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tbsp olive oil.
    • Add halved baby potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and tender.
    • Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. Cook the steak:
    • Season steaks with salt and pepper.
    • In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil over medium-high heat.
    • Sear steaks 3–4 minutes per side (for medium-rare; adjust to your preferred doneness).
    • Remove steaks from skillet and let rest.
  3. Make garlic butter:
    • Reduce heat to medium, add butter and minced garlic to the skillet.
    • Sauté garlic 30–60 seconds until fragrant. Add thyme or rosemary if using.
  4. Combine everything:
    • Return potatoes to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic butter to coat.
    • Slice the steak against the grain and place it back in the skillet with potatoes.
  5. Serve:
    • Garnish with fresh parsley.
    • Serve immediately for a warm, hearty, one-skillet meal.

💡 Tips:

  • For extra flavor, add a splash of balsamic vinegar or Worcestershire sauce to the garlic butter.
  • You can add vegetables like green beans, mushrooms, or bell peppers to make it a complete meal in one skillet.
  • Letting the steak rest after cooking keeps it juicy.

If you want, I can also give you a slow-cooker version where the steak becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender and the garlic butter flavors infuse the potatoes perfectly. Do you want that version?
