Step 1: Preheat your oven to a toasty 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). In a petite bowl, combine your butter, garlic, and dried herbs, and set this flavorful blend aside for later. Now, generously season your steaks with a pinch of salt, a twist of pepper, and a delicate sprinkle of garlic powder on both sides.
Step 2: Place a sturdy skillet over medium-high heat and give it a drizzle of that exquisite olive oil. Carefully sear your steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side, just until they develop that beautiful, savory brown crust. Once they’re perfectly seared, transfer them to a waiting plate and let them rest for a moment.
Step 3: In the same skillet, introduce your diced potatoes, seasoning them generously with a touch of salt, a dash of pepper, and a whisper of garlic powder. Saute these delightful spuds for 3-5 minutes until they turn a glorious shade of golden brown. Push the potatoes to one side of the pan, then return your seared steaks to the other side.
Step 4: It’s time to let the magic happen. Pop the skillet into the preheated oven and allow everything to roast for 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye out for those potatoes – they’re done when a fork slips into them with ease, and your steak should reach your preferred level of doneness.
Step 5: As soon as you take the skillet out of the oven, adorn each steak with a dollop of that aromatic garlic butter, then spread the remaining butter generously over the golden potatoes. Let the buttery goodness melt over the food, embracing it with flavor. Finally, sprinkle the chopped thyme and parsley over the dish before serving.
This delectable creation combines the best of both worlds: succulent steak and perfectly crispy potatoes, all infused with the enticing aroma and taste of garlic and herbs.
