Garlic Herb Steak & Potatoes

You know those days when time just slips through your fingers, and you’re starving by the time that hour creeps around? Well, I’ve got your back with this Garlic Herb Steak & Potatoes thing of beauty. It’s one of those dishes that just hugs you from the inside. Juicy steak and those golden spuds with a hit of herbs. Special? Well, it’s pure magic on a plate, and once you try it, let’s just say you won’t be going back to takeout any time soon.

So picture this—my tiny family of steak fanatics cannot get enough of this. Even my husband, who thinks salt is a vegetable, gets happy over the herb explosion in this dish. Kids too! It’s become our little “let’s celebrate the weekend” ritual. There’s something about sizzling steak and crispy potatoes with herbs that brings us all to the table, phones forgotten.

Why You’ll Love This Garlic Herb Steak & Potatoes

– Because seriously, steak and potatoes. Enough said.
– Everything on one pan. Fewer dishes, more eating.
– Delicious enough to make neighbors jealous through the walls.
– Perfect excuse to use that fancy salt you bought because it sounded cool.

How to Make It

Okay, grab your apron and maybe a glass of wine for the ambiance; we’re diving in. Start with your steak—any cut you can afford or manage without a mortgage is good. Get that beauty to room temp, don’t skip this, I mean it. Now, rub—a LOT of garlic and herbs all over that steak like you’re a florist in love. A sprinkle of salt and pepper, and yeah, don’t skimp! I mean, who wants bland steak, right?

Potatoes—those little guys get the same loving garlic-herb treatment. Toss ‘em around in some olive oil until they gleam like shiny pebbles.

Now here’s the fun part, heat up a pan to the heat level of a small sun (be careful!), throw in your steaks, and let them sizzle. Do not prod them like a nosy neighbor! Let them crisp up, enough time to sip your wine.

While those juicy steaks rest, roast those potato buddies in all the drippings left behind, until they’re so crispy you’ll want to steal ‘em right from the pan. Assemble it all, drizzle those pan juices like you’re posing for a taste-test magazine, and bam! Dinner is served.

Ingredient Notes

– Steak: Yes, there’s fancy cuts, but whatever you’ve got will do. Just don’t overcook it…my first time resulted in a fancy leather wallet. Oof!
– Potatoes: Any kind that crisps up and doesn’t take an eternity to cook. Yukon Gold is in the lead here.
– Garlic and Herbs: I once forgot the herbs… let’s just say the second time was waaaaay better.

Recipe Steps:

1. Preheat the pan.
2. Rub steak with garlic and herbs.
3. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Sizzle steak in preheated pan.
5. Roast potatoes in steak drippings.
6. Serve with a flourish.

What to Serve It With

Tips & Mistakes

– Make sure steak is room temperature before cooking! Cold steak = bad times.
– Don’t fan the steak with love, leave it alone to get that crust.
– Got any Dijon mustard lying around? Brush a bit on for an extra zing.

Storage Tips

Leftovers? Pop them in the fridge and hope someone hasn’t claimed dibs. They’ll keep for a day or two. Cold steak in a sandwich is basically next-day magic. And potatoes? Well, they make a good breakfast hash! Zero judgment here.

Variations and Substitutions

So here’s the deal—feeling adventurous? Throw some cherry tomatoes in there. Want some heat? Sprinkle in some chili flakes. And if you find yourself without potatoes, sweet potatoes can totally work too. Cooking is all about going with your gut!
