• 1 tsp salt

• ½ tsp black pepper

• ½ tsp paprika

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 3 tbsp butter

For the Crispy Potatoes

• 1 lb baby potatoes (or diced regular potatoes)

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp garlic powder

🔥 Instructions

1. Prepare the Potatoes

1. Boil potatoes for 7–10 minutes or until slightly tender (not fully cooked).

2. Drain and pat dry.

3. Toss with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

4. Spread on a skillet or baking sheet and cook on medium-high (or roast at 425°F/220°C) until crispy and golden, about 15–20 minutes.

🥩 2. Cook the Steak

1. Pat steaks dry. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.

2. Heat a heavy skillet (cast iron recommended) over high heat.

3. Add olive oil. When hot, add the steaks.

4. Sear 3–4 minutes per side for medium, or to your preferred doneness.

5. Reduce heat to medium-low.

6. Add butter, smashed garlic, and herbs.

7. Tilt the pan and spoon the melted garlic butter over the steak for 1–2 minutes (basting).

🍽️ 3. Put It All Together

• Serve steaks with the crispy potatoes on the side.

• Spoon extra garlic butter from the pan over the top.

• Garnish with parsley if desired.

⭐ Tips

• Let steak rest 5 minutes before cutting to keep it juicy.

• Don’t overcrowd the skillet or steaks won’t brown properly.

• Smash potatoes lightly before crisping for extra crunch.
