Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes
Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes is a one-pan, hearty meal featuring juicy, pan-seared steak and tender, golden potatoes coated in rich garlic butter. It’s an easy yet elegant dinner perfect for busy weeknights or special occasions.
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs sirloin steak or ribeye or New York strip, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1½ lbs baby potatoes halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish
- Optional: lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Cook potatoes: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add halved potatoes, season with salt, pepper, and paprika, and cook for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender. Remove and set aside.
- Sear steak: In the same skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add steak cubes, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sear for 2–3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.
- Add garlic butter: Lower heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir constantly for 1–2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and butter is melted.
- Combine: Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet and toss to coat everything in the garlic butter.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot, with lemon wedges if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute Yukon gold or red potatoes if baby potatoes aren’t available.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes before cutting if cooking whole steaks.
- Add a pinch of crushed red pepper for a bit of heat.
- Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
