Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steaks (approximately 1 inch thick)
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
How to Make Steak with Garlic Butter and Roasted Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika (if using). Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender, flipping halfway through.
- While the potatoes are roasting, season the ribeye steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon of butter. When the butter has melted and is sizzling, add the steaks to the pan.
- Cook the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust the cooking time as needed for your preferred doneness.
- In the last minute of cooking, add the remaining butter, minced garlic, parsley, and thyme to the skillet. Spoon the melted garlic butter over the steaks.
- Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve the steaks alongside the roasted baby potatoes, drizzling any remaining garlic butter from the pan over the top.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure your steaks are at room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
- Let the steaks rest after cooking to retain their juices.
Easy Variations
- Swap ribeye for sirloin or filet mignon for a different cut of steak.
- Add vegetables like asparagus or Brussels sprouts to the roasting pan for a complete meal.
- Experiment with different herbs such as rosemary or oregano for unique flavor profiles.
What to Serve With It
- A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette.
- Creamy coleslaw for a crunchy contrast.
- Garlic bread for a delicious side that complements the meal.
- Steamed green beans or broccoli for a healthy addition.
