INGREDIENTS :
2-4 petite steaks *see note
salt and pepper to taste
garlic powder to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2-4 pounds baby potatoes, diced
2-6 tablespoons salted butter, soft enough to mash with a fork one tablespoon per steak, plus two tablespoons for the potatoes
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried Italian herb blend
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
INSTRUCTIONS :
Preheat
oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl combine butter, garlic, and dried
herbs and set aside. Season steaks generously with salt, pepper, and
garlic powder on both sides.
Place skillet over
medium-high heat and drizzle with oil. Sear steaks for 2-3 minutes one
each side until nice and browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Add
potatoes to the skillet, season generously with salt, pepper, and
garlic powder and saute 3-5 minutes until browned. Push potatoes to one
side of the pan and return steaks to the other side of the pan.
Transfer to oven and cook for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender and steak is cooked to your preferred doneness.
Immediately
after removing from oven, place a dollop of the garlic butter on each
steak and the rest on the potatoes and let it melt over the food before
stirring the potatoes to coat in butter and then topping with chopped
thyme and parsley before serving
