  • Author: ushinzomr
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Description

A delicious and hearty skillet meal featuring perfectly seared steak and tender potatoes, all cooked in one pan for easy cleanup.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the halved baby potatoes cut-side down and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and tender, stirring occasionally.
  3. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Season the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
  5. Add the steaks to the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.
  6. Add the butter, minced garlic, and dried thyme to the skillet during the last minute of cooking, basting the steaks with the melted butter.
  7. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.
  8. Return the potatoes to the skillet to warm them through, then serve the steak topped with garlic butter and the potatoes on the side. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For best results, let the steaks come to room temperature before cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or onions to the skillet for extra flavor.
