Ingredients

• 2 to 4 petite steaks
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Garlic powder, to taste
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 to 4 russet potatoes, or 4 to 6 baby potatoes
• 6 tbsp unsalted butter, softened (1 tbsp for each steak and 2 tbsp for cooking the potatoes)
• 1 tbsp Italian herbs
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2: Season the Steaks

1. Season your steaks generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

Step 3: Prepare the Garlic Butter

1. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, garlic, and Italian herbs until well combined. Set this mixture aside.

Step 4: Sear the Steaks

1. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
2. Place the steaks in the skillet and sear for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until browned. Once seared, remove the steaks from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.

Step 5: Cook the Potatoes

1. Add the potatoes to the same skillet and sauté them with a little salt, pepper, and garlic powder until they start to turn golden brown.

Step 6: Combine and Bake

1. Move the potatoes to one side of the skillet and place the seared steaks back on the other side.
2. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the steaks reach your desired level of doneness and the potatoes are tender.

Step 7: Add the Garlic Butter

1. Once the skillet is out of the oven, immediately top the hot steaks and potatoes with the garlic butter mixture. Let it melt over the steaks and potatoes, infusing them with rich, buttery flavor.
2. Garnish with fresh parsley and thyme.
