Garlic Butter Steak & Potatoes Skillet
Ingredients
Steak
2 pounds Sirloin Steak, or steak of choice, room temperature preferred before cooking
1 tablespoon Olive oil, for steak
2 teaspoons Kosher Salt, for steak
2 teaspoons Black Pepper, for steak
2 teaspoons Garlic Powder, for steak
Neutral oil, for cooking
Potatoes
1 pound Baby Potatoes, sliced into quarters
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt, to taste
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
½teaspoon Onion Powder
½ teaspoon Black Pepper, to taste
Neutral Oil, to cook
Garlic Butter
½ cup Unsalted Butter
½ medium Yellow Onion, chopped
¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt, or to taste for garlic butter
¼ teaspoon Black Pepper, or to taste for garlic butter
1 teaspoon Fresh Rosemary, minced; up to 2 teaspoons
1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme, minced; up to 2 teaspoons
6 cloves Garlic, minced
2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
Instructions
1. Thoroughly pat dry steak. Slice steak into about 1 inch cubes, then add the steak into a large bowl. Add in olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Cover the steak and set aside while preparing the potatoes.
2. Rinse and pat dry potatoes. Slice the potatoes into quarters and add into a large bowl. Toss the potatoes in olive oil, kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
3. In a large skillet on medium heat, add in 2 tablespoons of neutral oil. Once the oil is hot, it can easily move around the skillet and shimmer, add in potatoes. Cook for about 5 minutes until the potatoes are browned and develop a light crust on the bottom side. Next, flip the potatoes over and cook for another 5 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender; you can easily place a fork through the potatoes.
4. Once the potatoes are done, transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
5. Turn the skillet heat up to medium high and add in 2 tablespoons of neutral oil. Once the oil is hot, it can easily move around the skillet and shimmer, add in half of the steak. We want to cook the steak in batches. Adding in all of the steak at once could produce steam in the skillet and reduce the ability to develop a crust on each piece.
6. Cook the steak to your preference. I like to cook for about 1 minute on each side to develop a crust and about a medium-well cook. Once done with the first batch, transfer steak to a plate and cover. You may need to add in another tablespoon of neutral oil, then finish cooking the remaining steak. Once done remove the steak from the skillet and transfer it to the plate with previous cooked steak.
7. Reduce the skillet heat to medium-low, then add in butter. Once the butter is melted, add in chopped onions with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 2 minutes until the onions have softened. Next, add in minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme Continue cooking for about 1 minute.
8. Toss in cooked steak and potatoes, pour Worcestershire sauce over them, and coat in the butter sauce until the steak and potatoes are warmed up and coated. Serve and enjoy.
