How To Make Garlic-Butter-Steak & Potatoes Skillet:
- Prepare the Spice Mix:
Whisk together all the spices in a small bowl. Set aside. Reserve two tablespoons of the mixture for the potatoes. - Season the Steak:
Pat dry the steak with paper towels and sprinkle the remaining spice mixture evenly over it, pressing it into the meat. Set aside. - Prepare the Potatoes:
Place the potato wedges and 1/2 cup of water in a microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave for 6-7 minutes until the potatoes are barely soft. Drain and let them dry. Drizzle the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with the reserved spice mixture. Toss to coat evenly. - Cook the Potatoes:
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned potato wedges and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until they start to brown. Transfer the potatoes to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. - Cook the Steak:
In the same skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add half of the steak pieces in a single layer and sear for 2 minutes. Flip the steak and cook for an additional minute or until desired doneness. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining steak pieces. - Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic, butter, parsley, oregano, and thyme. Cook for about a minute, stirring constantly. - Combine and Serve:
Return the cooked steak and potatoes to the skillet with the garlic butter sauce. Toss to coat everything evenly. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Make sure to pat the steak dry before seasoning to ensure proper adherence of the spice mixture.
- Adjust the cooking time of the steak according to your desired level of doneness.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet when cooking the steak to ensure proper searing.
- Don’t overcook the potatoes in the microwave; they should be barely soft.
- Keep an eye on the garlic butter sauce to prevent the garlic from burning.
- Serve the dish immediately after combining the steak, potatoes, and sauce to enjoy it at its best.
