Garlic butter steak and potatoes skillet is a delicious and hearty dish perfect for a satisfying dinner. Here’s a simple recipe to make it:
Ingredients:
- 2 medium-sized steaks (such as ribeye or sirloin)
- 4 medium-sized potatoes, washed and diced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary (optional)
- Olive oil
Instructions:
- Prepare the Steaks:
- Take the steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps them cook more evenly.
- Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and pepper.
- Cook the Potatoes:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender, about 10-15 minutes. You can cover the skillet to cook them faster.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the skillet and set them aside.
- Cook the Steaks:
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned steaks to the skillet. Cook the steaks for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer your steaks more well-done.
- If you like, you can add some fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the skillet while the steaks are cooking for extra flavor.
- Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for a few minutes.
- Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce:
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
- Once the garlic is cooked, return the cooked potatoes to the skillet and toss them in the garlic butter sauce until they are well coated.
- Serve:
- Slice the cooked steaks against the grain into strips.
- Serve the sliced steak alongside the garlic butter potatoes.
- Optionally, you can drizzle any remaining garlic butter sauce from the skillet over the steak slices before serving.
