Here’s a delicious, one-skillet recipe for Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes—juicy steak, tender potatoes, and rich garlic butter all in one pan. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or special occasion!
🥩 Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
- 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 200–250 g each)
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 4–5 small potatoes, diced into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
👩🍳 Instructions
🔥 1. Prepare the potatoes
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add diced potatoes, season with salt, pepper, and optional herbs.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, 10–12 minutes until golden and tender.
- Remove potatoes and set aside.
🍳 2. Cook the steak
- Season steaks generously with salt and pepper.
- In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp oil.
- Sear steaks 3–4 minutes per side (medium-rare) or until desired doneness.
- Remove steaks and let rest 5 minutes.
🧈 3. Make garlic butter
- Lower heat, add butter and minced garlic to the skillet.
- Sauté 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Return potatoes and toss to coat in garlic butter.
🍽️ 4. Serve
- Plate the steak with garlic butter potatoes on the side
- Drizzle any pan juices over the steak
- Garnish with fresh parsley
💡 Tips
- Let steak rest after cooking for juicier meat
- Cut potatoes evenly so they cook at the same rate
- Optional: Add a squeeze of lemon or splash of balsamic for extra flavor
If you want, I can give a shortcut version using frozen potatoes that makes this meal ready in under 25 minutes without losing flavor.
