Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 lb steak
Starches:
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
Seasonings and Garnishes:
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic
- Salt
- Pepper
- Fresh parsley
Instructions
- Create an even layer of seasoning across every inch of the steak using 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp black pepper, ensuring total surface coverage.
- Melt 2 tbsp butter in a 12-inch cast iron skillet at medium-high heat (375°F) until it starts to shimmer and foam subsides.
- Carefully place the steak in the hot skillet, allowing it to sear for 3-4 minutes without moving, developing a rich golden-brown crust.
- Flip the steak and cook an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, using a meat thermometer to confirm internal temperature reaches 135°F.
- Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest while keeping the skillet heated.
- Drop halved baby potatoes (2 cups) into the same skillet, cut-side down, and cook for 12-15 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Sprinkle 4 minced garlic cloves over the potatoes, stirring gently to prevent burning.
- Add remaining 2 tbsp butter, allowing it to coat the potatoes and create a glossy finish.
- Slice the steak against the grain into ½-inch thick strips.
- Return steak slices to the skillet, tossing briefly to warm and blend flavors.
- Scatter fresh chopped parsley across the dish for a bright, fresh garnish before serving immediately.
Notes
- Choose a well-marbled steak like ribeye or New York strip for maximum flavor and tenderness.
- Pat the steak completely dry before seasoning to ensure a perfect golden-brown sear and crisp exterior.
- Let the steak rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking to help it cook more evenly and retain juices.
- For a gluten-free version, replace regular butter with clarified butter or ghee and ensure all ingredients are certified gluten-free.
