Ingredients

  • For the Steak:
  • 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme
  • For the Potatoes:
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

For the Potatoes:

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare Potatoes:
    In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, dried thyme, and dried rosemary until evenly coated.
  3. Roast Potatoes:
    Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy, flipping them halfway through.

For the Steak:

  1. Season Steaks:
    While the potatoes are roasting, season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. Cook Steaks:
    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the steaks to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the time according to your desired doneness.
  3. Add Garlic Butter:
    Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the minced garlic and butter to the skillet, and place the rosemary or thyme sprigs in the pan. Tilt the skillet slightly and spoon the melted garlic butter over the steaks continuously for about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Rest Steaks:
    Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to retain their juices.

To Serve:

  1. Serve:
    Slice the rested steaks against the grain and serve them alongside the roasted potatoes. Drizzle any remaining garlic butter from the skillet over the steaks and potatoes.
  2. Garnish:
    Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.

Enjoy:
