Ingredients for Homemade Steak and Potatoes
- 2 (8-ounce) beef steaks (such as ribeye or sirloin)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
How to Make Homemade Steak and Potatoes
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare Potatoes: In a bowl, toss potato wedges with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
- Cook Steaks: Season steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and sear steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness (medium-rare, medium, etc.). Remove steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board.
- Make Garlic Herb Butter: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and butter. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until garlic is fragrant and butter is melted.
- Serve: Slice the rested steaks against the grain and serve with roasted potatoes. Drizzle garlic herb butter over the steaks and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
