Here’s a classic, hearty Steak and Potatoes recipe — perfectly seared steak paired with crispy roasted potatoes.
🥩 Steak and Potatoes
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
For the steak:
- 1–1.5 lbs (450–680g) steak (ribeye, sirloin, or strip)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1–2 tsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed (optional)
- Fresh herbs (thyme or rosemary, optional)
For the potatoes:
- 1 lb (450g) baby potatoes or Yukon gold, quartered
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh rosemary or thyme
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and herbs.
- Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast 25–30 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.
2️⃣ Cook Steak
- Let steak come to room temperature. Pat dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear steak 3–5 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust for thickness).
- Optional: During last 1–2 minutes, add butter, garlic, and herbs. Spoon melted butter over steak.
- Let steak rest 5 minutes before slicing.
3️⃣ Serve
- Slice steak against the grain and serve alongside roasted potatoes.
- Optional: drizzle steak with pan juices or a simple garlic butter.
🔥 Tips
- Steak doneness: Use a meat thermometer — 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
- Crispier potatoes: Cut evenly and don’t overcrowd the pan.
- Flavor boost: Toss potatoes with minced garlic or Parmesan before roasting.
If you want, I can provide a one-pan steak and potatoes recipe where both cook together in the oven for minimal cleanup and extra flavor infusion.
