GARLIC BUTTER STEAK AND POTATOES SKILLET

 

Ingredients

• 2-4 petite steaks *see note
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Garlic powder to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2-4 pounds baby potatoes, diced
• 2-6 tablespoons salted butter, soft enough to mash with a fork (1 tablespoon per steak, plus 2 tablespoons for the potatoes)
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian herb blend
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, combine butter, garlic, and dried herbs, then set aside.
2. Season steaks generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
3. Place a skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle with oil. Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side until nicely browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
4. Add diced potatoes to the skillet. Season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then sauté for 3-5 minutes until browned.
5. Push the potatoes to one side of the pan and return the steaks to the other side.
6. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender and the steaks are cooked to your preferred doneness.
7. Immediately after removing from the oven, place a dollop of garlic butter on each steak and spread the remaining butter over the potatoes. Let the butter melt over the food.
8. Stir the potatoes to coat them in butter, and then top with chopped thyme and parsley before serving.
