Here’s a classic and hearty Steak and Potatoes recipe — simple, flavorful, and perfect for a satisfying meal.
🥩🥔 Steak and Potatoes
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
Steak
- 2 ribeye, sirloin, or strip steaks (about 8 oz / 225 g each)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Optional: 1 tsp fresh rosemary or thyme
Potatoes
- 3–4 medium potatoes, diced or cut into wedges
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Optional: ½ tsp paprika or garlic powder
- Optional garnish: chopped parsley
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) if roasting.
- Toss diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional seasonings.
- Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast 25–30 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.
2️⃣ Cook the Steak
- Pat steaks dry and season with salt, pepper, and optional herbs.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook steaks 3–5 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust time for desired doneness).
- Add garlic in the last 1–2 minutes, basting steaks with pan juices.
- Let steaks rest 5 minutes before slicing.
3️⃣ Serve
- Plate steak with roasted potatoes.
- Optional: drizzle pan juices over steak or top potatoes with fresh parsley.
🔥 Tips & Variations
- Extra flavor: Add butter and fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme) while cooking steak for basting.
- Crispy potatoes: Parboil potatoes for 5 minutes before roasting for extra crispness.
- Vegetable side: Serve with sautéed mushrooms, green beans, or a fresh salad.
- Pan-seared potatoes: For a faster option, sauté potatoes in a skillet with butter and garlic instead of roasting.
