Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ribeye steak or your preferred cut
  • 1 lb baby potatoes halved
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Season both sides of the steak generously with salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak and sear for 3–4 minutes per side, until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add halved baby potatoes to the skillet, cut side down. Cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender.
  • Return the steak to the skillet with the potatoes and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, allowing everything to come together and heat through.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: While this recipe is best served fresh, you can prepare the potatoes in advance by boiling them, then searing them in the skillet when ready to cook.
  • Customizations: Add vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms to the skillet for extra flavour.
  • Storage Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the skillet for the best results.
  • Allergy-Friendly: This recipe is naturally gluten-free, but ensure your steak is not marinated in any gluten-containing sauces.
