Ingredients:
For the steak:
- 2 thick-cut steaks (such as ribeye, New York strip, or sirloin), about 1 inch thick
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
- Fresh herbs (such as thyme or rosemary), for garnish (optional)
For the crispy potatoes:
- 1 1/2 pounds potatoes (such as Yukon Gold or Russet), peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Crispy Potatoes:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Cook the Steak:
- While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the steaks.
- Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and butter to the skillet.
- Once the butter is melted and foamy, add the steaks to the skillet. For medium-rare, cook the steaks for about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on thickness, for an internal temperature of 130-135°F (55-57°C). Adjust cooking time for desired doneness.
- Optional: Add minced garlic and fresh herbs (like thyme or rosemary) to the skillet in the last minute of cooking, spooning the melted butter over the steaks.
- Rest and Serve:
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
- Slice the steaks against the grain into thick slices.
- Arrange the crispy potatoes on a serving platter or individual plates.
- Place the sliced steak on top of the potatoes.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
- Enjoy:
- Serve immediately while the steak is warm and the potatoes are crispy.
- You can also serve with your favorite steak sauce or condiment on the side.
