GARLIC HERB POTATOES AND STEAK SKILLET

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

1. Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to reach room temperature. Pat it dry with paper towels.
2. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with minced garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper to create the garlic herb butter. Set aside.
3. Wash and halve the baby potatoes. If desired, prep additional vegetables like green beans or cherry tomatoes.

Step 2: Season the Steak

1. Drizzle the steak with olive oil and rub it evenly over both sides.
2. Season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Massage the spices into the meat and set aside.

Step 3: Cook the Potatoes

1. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.
2. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and let it heat until shimmering.
3. Place the halved potatoes cut side down in the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes without stirring, allowing them to develop a golden-brown crust.
4. Sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika, rosemary, salt, and pepper over the potatoes. Toss to coat evenly.
5. Continue cooking the potatoes, stirring occasionally, for another 10-12 minutes until tender. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4: Sear the Steak

1. In the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high. Add a tablespoon of butter if desired for extra flavor.
2. Once the skillet is hot, place the seasoned steak in the pan. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare (adjust time based on your preferred doneness).
3. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature:
   • Rare: 125°F (52°C)
   • Medium-Rare: 135°F (57°C)
   • Medium: 145°F (63°C)
   • Well-Done: 160°F (71°C)
4. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a plate for 5-10 minutes, tented with foil to retain heat.

Step 5: Add Vegetables (Optional)

1. If using green beans or cherry tomatoes, add them to the skillet after removing the steak.
2. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

Step 6: Combine and Serve

1. Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet, stirring them with the vegetables (if used).
2. Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
3. Top the potatoes and vegetables with sliced steak and dollops of garlic herb butter.
4. Garnish with additional parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
