Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs sirloin or strip steak
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme or rosemary
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • Cast iron skillet for searing steak and crisping potatoes
  • pot for parboiling potatoes
  • tongs to flip steak

Method
 

  1. Pat steak dry, season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Let sit at room temp for 20 minutes.
  2. Boil baby potatoes in salted water for 7–8 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. Sear steak in olive oil over high heat, 2–3 minutes per side. Remove and tent with foil.
  4. Lower heat, add butter and garlic. Let foam for 30 seconds, add herbs.
  5. Add potatoes to skillet. Cook until crispy and golden. Smash slightly for more crisp.
  6. Return steak to pan, baste with butter. Slice and serve warm with garlic potatoes.

Notes

Use a cast iron skillet for best crust and flavor. Let steak rest before slicing. For extra crisp potatoes, smash them slightly before tossing them back into the pan.
