Skillet Garlic Butter Herb Steak and Potatoes
Description
In this recipe, diced Yukon Gold potatoes are sautéed in olive oil and butter with fresh thyme, rosemary, oregano, and minced garlic until fork-tender and slightly crisp. The seasoned New York strip steaks are then cooked in the same skillet, allowing the meat to develop a brown crust at high heat before finishing to desired doneness at medium-high heat with repeated flipping.
The garlic butter compound, made from softened butter combined with the same fresh herbs and garlic, is prepared separately and can be added over the steaks just before serving to enhance flavor and moistness. This method maintains a balance of textures between the tender potatoes and the flavorful, juicy steak.
This dish serves well as a complete dinner, pairing harmoniously with simple sides or salad. Using fresh herbs throughout ties the flavors consistently from potatoes to steak, while cooking mostly in one skillet reduces cleanup.

- 1 tablespoon butter unsalted

Cook for about 3 minutes. Stir and cook an additional 3-5 minutes or until fork tender. Remove and set aside on a plate.
