Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes Skillet

Recipe Directions

  1. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and season with salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
  3. Cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
  5. Season the steak strips with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet.
  6. Cook the steak strips until they are browned on all sides and cooked to your desired doneness, about 4-5 minutes for medium-rare.
  7. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  8. Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet and toss to combine with the steak and garlic butter sauce.
  9. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Tips and Tricks

  • For an extra burst of flavor, you can add sliced mushrooms or bell peppers to the skillet along with the steak.
  • Make sure to let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and juicy steak.
  • Feel free to customize the seasoning to your taste preferences. You can add smoked paprika, rosemary, or red pepper flakes for a different flavor profile.
