Here’s a classic Steak and Potatoes recipe—simple, hearty, and full of flavor. 🥩🥔
🥩 Steak and Potatoes
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 2–4)
- 2 ribeye, sirloin, or strip steaks (about 1-inch thick)
- 2–4 medium potatoes (russet, Yukon gold, or red), cubed or sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika or smoked paprika (optional)
- Optional: fresh rosemary or thyme
🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) if roasting.
- Toss potato cubes or slices with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional paprika or herbs.
- Roast in oven for 25–30 minutes until golden and tender, flipping halfway.
2️⃣ Cook the Steak
- Pat steaks dry and season with salt, pepper, and optional paprika.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear steaks 3–5 minutes per side (depending on thickness and desired doneness).
- Optional: add garlic and herbs in the last 1–2 minutes and spoon over steak.
3️⃣ Rest the Steak
- Remove steaks from skillet and let rest 5–10 minutes before slicing to retain juices.
4️⃣ Serve
- Serve steaks alongside roasted potatoes.
- Optional: add a side of sautéed vegetables or a simple salad.
💡 Tips
- Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
- For extra flavor, marinate steaks in garlic, olive oil, and herbs for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Pan juices from the steak can be poured over potatoes for extra richness.
