Oh yes — garlic butter steak and potatoes skillet is the ultimate one-pan comfort meal 🥩🥔🧄. Juicy steak, crispy potatoes, and rich garlic butter — it’s basically a restaurant meal at home. Here’s a foolproof recipe:
Garlic Butter Steak & Potatoes Skillet
Ingredients
- 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 8 oz each)
- Salt & black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3–4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 lb (450 g) small potatoes, quartered or diced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- Fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare potatoes
- Boil potatoes in salted water 5–7 minutes until just tender, then drain.
- Pat dry.
- Sear the steaks
- Season steaks generously with salt & pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear steaks 3–4 minutes per side (depending on thickness) until desired doneness.
- Remove from skillet and tent with foil to rest.
- Cook potatoes
- In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed.
- Add potatoes and sauté until golden brown and crispy (~8–10 minutes).
- Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Make garlic butter
- Push potatoes to one side of the skillet.
- Lower heat to medium, add butter and minced garlic.
- Stir until fragrant (~1 minute), then mix garlic butter into potatoes.
- Combine
- Return steaks to the skillet to warm slightly.
- Spoon garlic butter over steaks and potatoes.
- Sprinkle with fresh herbs and parsley.
- Serve hot
- Plate the steak and potatoes, drizzle extra garlic butter from the pan.
Pro Tips
- Don’t overcrowd the pan — it helps both steak and potatoes sear properly.
- Rest steaks after cooking for 5 minutes to keep them juicy.
- Optional veggies: add green beans or mushrooms for a complete one-pan meal.
If you want, I can give a fancier, restaurant-style version with a perfectly pan-seared crust and herby garlic butter drizzle that looks amazing on the plate.
