Ingredients
- 250 g Steak (e.g., ribeye, sirloin)
- 300 g Potatoes
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 clove Garlic (optional)
- 1 sprig Fresh rosemary (optional)
Instructions
- Remove steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Pat dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper.
- Peel and chop potatoes into even-sized pieces. Place them in a pot, cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
- While potatoes cook, heat a heavy-bottomed skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat until very hot. Add olive oil.
- Carefully place the seasoned steak in the hot skillet. Sear for 2-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness. For added flavor, add butter, smashed garlic, and rosemary to the pan during the last minute of cooking, basting the steak.
- Remove steak from skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
- Serve the rested steak alongside the hot boiled potatoes. You can finish the potatoes with a knob of butter or fresh herbs if desired.
