Ingredients

Steak and Potatoes

  • 1 1/2 lb flank steak, sliced against the grain
  • 1 1/2 lb baby yellow potatoes, quartered
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped
  • Salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
  • Crushed red chili pepper flakes, optional
  • Parmesan cheese, optional for garnish

Marinade

  • 1/3 cup soy sauce (or coconut aminos for paleo and gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce (e.g., Sriracha)
  • Fresh cracked pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate Steak: In a large bowl, combine sliced steak strips with soy sauce, olive oil, fresh cracked pepper, and hot sauce. Mix well and set aside to marinate while you prepare the potatoes.
  2. Cook Potatoes: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter melts, add the quartered potatoes. Cook for about 4 minutes without stirring, then stir and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes until potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork. Transfer potatoes to a plate and set aside.
  3. Sauté Garlic and Herbs: Using the same skillet over medium heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, minced garlic, crushed red chili flakes (if using), and the chopped fresh thyme, rosemary, and oregano. Stir to combine and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Cook Steak: Lay the marinated steak strips in a single layer in the skillet. Keep the reserved marinade for later. Sear the steak strips for 1 minute on each side until nicely browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Adjust cooking time for thicker strips or desired steak temperature.
  5. Add Marinade and Potatoes: Just before the steak finishes cooking, stir in the reserved marinade and cook for an additional 1 minute to enhance the sauce. Then return the cooked potatoes to the skillet and toss everything together to heat through. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
  6. Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with extra crushed chili flakes, fresh herbs, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese over the potatoes if desired. Enjoy your flavorful garlic butter steak and potatoes!

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, substitute soy sauce with coconut aminos.
  • You can use other cuts of steak such as ribeye, tenderloin, or strip loin for added tenderness and flavor.
  • Adjust chili flakes according to spice preference or omit for milder taste.
  • Parmesan cheese is optional but adds a savory finishing touch to the potatoes.
  • If potatoes are not fork-tender after the initial cooking, cover the skillet and cook for a few more minutes on low heat.
  • Use fresh herbs for the best aroma; dried herbs can be substituted but use half the amount.
