Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1-inch thick)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Cooking Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes by preheating the oven to 425°F (220°C). Combine baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl, ensuring even coating.
- Arrange potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet, creating space between each piece for optimal crispiness. Roast for 25-30 minutes, rotating halfway through to achieve golden-brown edges.
- While potatoes roast, season steaks generously with salt and pepper on both surfaces.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme, sautéing until aromatic, approximately 1 minute.
- Elevate heat to high and carefully place steaks in the skillet. Cook 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time based on thickness and desired doneness.
- During the final cooking minute, incorporate remaining butter, continuously spooning the melted mixture over the steaks to enhance flavor and moisture.
- Remove steaks from heat and allow them to rest for 3-4 minutes, enabling internal juices to redistribute.
- Plate the steaks alongside roasted potatoes, optionally garnishing with fresh herb sprigs for visual appeal and additional flavor complexity.
Notes
- Enhance potato crispiness by patting them completely dry before seasoning and roasting to prevent steaming.
- Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet when roasting potatoes, ensuring enough space between each piece for even browning and maximum crunchiness.
- Use a meat thermometer for precise steak doneness: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, preventing overcooking.
- Select high-quality butter with rich flavor, preferably grass-fed or European-style, to elevate the overall taste of the dish.
