Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) sirloin or ribeye steak
Seasonings and Herbs:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Cooking Ingredient:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
Instructions
- Elevate the steak’s flavor by gently massaging it with fragrant olive oil, seasoning with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and optional fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary.
- Heat a skillet to medium-high temperature, creating an ideal searing environment for the meat.
- Carefully place the seasoned steak into the hot skillet, allowing it to develop a rich, caramelized exterior for 4-5 minutes on each side.
- Monitor the steak’s doneness, removing it from heat and letting it rest briefly to ensure juicy tenderness.
- Preheat the oven to 425F (220C), preparing a parchment-lined baking sheet for crispy potato chips.
- Transform potato slices into flavor-packed chips by coating them with vegetable oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Arrange the seasoned potato slices in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Bake the chips for 20-25 minutes, rotating halfway through to ensure even golden-brown coloration.
- Artfully plate the perfectly cooked steak alongside the crisp chips.
- Complement the dish with ketchup or a preferred dipping sauce for an extra flavor dimension.
Notes
- Opt for room temperature steak to ensure even cooking and a perfectly seared exterior.
- Choose a thick-cut steak like ribeye or sirloin for maximum flavor and juiciness.
- Use a meat thermometer to achieve precise doneness without overcooking.
- Pat the steak dry before seasoning to help create a delicious golden-brown crust.
- Cut potato chips uniformly to guarantee consistent crispiness during baking.
- Experiment with different herb and spice combinations to customize the flavor profile.
- Let the steak rest after cooking to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender bite.
- For healthier version, use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes and air fry chips.
- Try cast iron skillet for superior heat retention and restaurant-quality steak sear.
