Equipment

  • Large skillet (cast iron preferred)
  • Tongs
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb 450g steak (ribeye, sirloin, or your choice), cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 lb 450g baby potatoes, halved
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the halved baby potatoes, cut side down. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook the potatoes for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and fork-tender.
  • Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
  • Cook the Steak:
  • In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the steak cubes, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside with the potatoes.
  • Make the Garlic Butter:
  • In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
  • Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the herbs are slightly crisp.
  • Combine and Serve:
  • Return the cooked potatoes and steak to the skillet. Toss everything together in the garlic butter until well coated and heated through.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
