Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Top sirloin steaks | 2 (8 oz each) |
| Russet potatoes | 4 medium |
| Unsalted butter | ½ cup |
| Garlic, minced | 4 cloves |
| Fresh thyme | 3 sprigs |
| Olive oil | 2 tablespoons |
| Salt and black pepper | To taste |
| Fresh parsley, chopped | For garnish |
Instructions:
1. Choose Quality Ingredients
Start with well-marbled top sirloin steaks that are bright red in color. For the potatoes, select medium-sized Russets that are firm and unblemished for the best texture and flavor.
2. Prep the Steak
Blot the steaks dry using paper towels for a better sear. Generously season both sides with salt and pepper. Let the steaks sit at room temperature for 20–30 minutes to absorb the seasoning.
3. Prep the Potatoes
Clean the potatoes well, peeling them if preferred. Dice into evenly sized chunks to ensure consistent cooking. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper until fully coated.
4. Sear the Steaks
Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Add a bit of olive oil, then sear the steaks for 3–4 minutes per side, creating a golden-brown crust.
5. Cook the Potatoes
In another skillet, melt a good portion of the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and fresh thyme sprigs to infuse the butter. Add the seasoned potato chunks and cook until they’re tender and beautifully golden.
6. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
Melt the remaining butter in a small saucepan. Add minced garlic and cook until lightly browned and aromatic, creating a rich sauce.
7. Assemble the Plate
Allow the steaks to rest briefly once they’re cooked to your liking. Slice them thinly against the grain. Plate the steak slices with the garlic-infused potatoes.
8. Finish with Flavor
Generously spoon the garlic butter sauce over the steak and potatoes. Finish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley for a bright, flavorful garnish.
