It’s been remarked previously that I have a man’s appetite. I’m not sure if that’s an insult or a compliment, and I’m also not sure if the insult or compliment is directed at whom. However, I took it positively.
I enjoy eating. Clearly. I enjoy a wide variety of cuisines, vegetables, fruits, sweets, and proteins. While I talk a lot about chicken, I have a deep, undying passion for all things beef. Place me at a table and serve me a large steak. I am not ashamed, and have never been, of eating the entire thing in front of a date, girlfriend, family member, or child. The only thing I ask is that you not a) ask for a taste or b) take one without asking. You could lose a finger. Just sayin.
It was because of a craving for meat and also potatoes and also not cleaning up a bunch of dishes that I ended up making this dish for dinner the other night. I’ve found that three steaks is plenty for my family — my husband and I each eat one and the kids split the remaining one up amongst themselves. You can always get four if they are on the smaller side, but that’s about the max I can fit into my cast iron.
We were all too busy eating our bellies with the great steaks and potatoes, so it was a quiet meal. To be honest, I’m not complaining. We have chaotic days just like everyone else and I’m not ashamed to say that, on those particular days, I’ll take some peace wherever I can get it.Ingredients
2-4 petite steaks *see note
salt and pepper to taste
garlic powder to taste
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2-4 pounds baby potatoes, diced
2-6 tablespoons salted butter, soft enough to mash with a fork one tablespoon per steak, plus two tablespoons for the potatoes
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried Italian herb blend
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl combine butter, garlic, and dried herbs and set aside. Season steaks generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Place skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle with oil. Sear steaks for 2-3 minutes one each side until nice and browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Add potatoes to the skillet, season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder and saute 3-5 minutes until browned. Push potatoes to one side of the pan and return steaks to the other side of the pan.
Transfer to oven and cook for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender and steak is cooked to your preferred doneness.
Immediately after removing from oven, place a dollop of the garlic butter on each steak and the rest on the potatoes and let it melt over the food before stirring the potatoes to coat in butter and then topping with chopped thyme and parsley before serving.
