Ingredients
For the Beef Steak
- 2 beef steaks ribeye, sirloin, or preferred cut, about 8 oz each
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves smashed
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
For the Roasted Potatoes
- 4 medium potatoes Yukon Gold or baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika optional
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Optional Garnish
- Fresh chopped parsley
- Lemon wedges
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak
- Season both sides of the steaks with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Let rest for 10 minutes.
- Cook the Steak
- Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 3–4 minutes per side until browned.
- Add Butter and Herbs
- Add butter, smashed garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the pan. Tilt the pan and spoon the melted butter over the steaks for 1–2 minutes.
- Rest the Steak
- Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes to keep them juicy.
- Prepare the Potatoes
- Toss the potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Roast the Potatoes
- Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet and roast at 425°F (220°C) for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Serve
- Plate the steak with the roasted potatoes. Add optional parsley or a squeeze of lemon for brightness.
Notes
- For medium-rare steak, aim for an internal temperature of 130–135°F (54–57°C).
- You can air-fry the potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes.
- Ribeye offers the most flavor, while sirloin is leaner.
- Letting the steak rest prevents juices from spilling out.
