Here’s a delicious, easy recipe for Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes Skillet—perfect for a hearty, flavorful meal in one pan:
🥩 Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes Skillet
Ingredients (serves 2–3)
- 2–3 steaks (ribeye, sirloin, or your favorite cut)
- 2 cups small potatoes, halved or quartered
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (optional: thyme or rosemary)
Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally until golden and tender. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the Steaks
- In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp olive oil.
- Season steaks with salt and pepper.
- Sear steaks 3–4 minutes per side for medium (adjust based on thickness and desired doneness). Remove and rest.
- Make Garlic Butter
- Reduce heat to low, add butter and minced garlic to the skillet.
- Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Optional: stir in fresh herbs.
- Combine Everything
- Return potatoes and steaks to the skillet, spoon garlic butter over them.
- Let everything warm together for 1–2 minutes.
- Serve Hot
- Plate the steak with potatoes and drizzle extra garlic butter on top.
💡 Tips for Success
- Use room-temperature steaks for even cooking.
- For extra flavor, baste steaks with garlic butter while cooking.
- A cast-iron skillet gives the best sear on both potatoes and steak.
I can also make a one-pan 30-minute version that’s faster but just as flavorful, perfect for busy weeknights.
