Sizzling Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes
A quick and delicious weeknight dinner featuring tender steak and buttery, garlic-infused potatoes.
Ingredients
For the Steak and Potatoes
- 1 lb flank steak (or your favorite cut)
- 4 medium-sized potatoes, diced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- to taste Salt and pepper
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
For Extra Flavor
- A splash of Worcestershire sauce
- A splash of soy sauce (if you’re feeling wild)
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by boiling the diced potatoes in a medium pot. Add some salt to the water for flavor and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. When they’re soft, drain and set aside.
- While the potatoes are cooking, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of butter and let it melt.
- Season your flank steak with salt, pepper, and paprika. Carefully place the steak in the hot skillet.
- Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on your preferred doneness.
- In the last minute of cooking, toss in the minced garlic, the remaining butter, and a splash of Worcestershire and soy sauce.
- Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the steak. Gently toss everything together so that the potatoes soak up that luscious garlic butter.
- Slice the steak against the grain for maximum tenderness and serve alongside those buttery potatoes.
- Sprinkle fresh parsley on top, if using, for a pop of color.
Notes
Don't overcrowd the pan if you’re making a larger batch. Adjust cooking time based on steak thickness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
