Skillet Garlic Butter Herb Steak and Potatoes is pan seared and cooked to perfection and topped with a garlic herb butter compound. This is the best steak that I have ever had!!
My youngest son is such a steak and potatoes guy. He won’t eat anything else but I can count on him to eat a good steak. He actually was in the kitchen with me helping me make this recipe. He loves to cook with me. He even told me to make sure to “sear the steak”, and to give the potatoes a slightly “charred” edge. With his help, we were able to create one of the best steaks that you will ever eat!
You start by cooking the potatoes in a delicious garlic herb butter. It really brings amazing flavor to these potatoes. Garlic herb butter potatoes? My heaven.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 pound yukon gold potatoes sliced about 1/2 inch in thickness
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon thyme chopped
- 1 teaspoon rosemary chopped
- 1 teaspoon oregano chopped
- 2 lean New York Steak strip steaks
- salt and pepper
Garlic Butter Compound:
- 1/4 cup softened butter
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon thyme chopped
- 1 teaspoon rosemary chopped
- 1 teaspoon oregano chopped
Instructions
- In a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat, add olive oil and butter, potatoes, garlic, thyme, rosemary and oregano. Cook for about 3 minutes, stir and cook and additional 3 minutes or until fork tender. Remove and set on a plate.
- Turn the skillet to high heat. Add the steaks. Cook on each side for 3 minutes or until outside is browned. Reduce heat to medium high. Cook the steaks to desired doneness. Mine took about 10 minutes flipping 3 times to get a medium well.
- Right before the steaks are done, make the garlic butter compound. Mix the butter, garlic and fresh chopped herbs. Slather on top of steaks. Add the potatoes back to the pan and heat through and let the butter melt into the steaks
